I won't be at CFUNITED this year

I had been asked to speak at the user group manager's meeting this year, and I was getting ready to do it, but I had a bit of a personal snag.

Julie (my wife) just had to take a few days off because of her wisdom teeth, so she has no time off. With the cost of a pet sitter (we don't have any family in town to watch our three dogs and six cats), Julie gone about 13 hours per day for work, and money being tight, I just couldn't swing it. I probably could have gotten the conference approved at work, but I decided it was best to make the sacrifice (again) and miss the party! It also means I won't be speaking at the user group manager's meeting, if that's not 100% obvious.

I have had to miss the last three CFUNITEDs. The last one I went to was the last year it was called CFUN - 2004. I made the Frameworks conference earlier this year, but missed CFObjective, the Adobe Community Summit (for fellow user group managers and Adobe Community Experts) earlier this month. Hopefully, I'll get to go to MAX in October.
