Well, due to some bad luck, I did not make it to the get-together

For starters, I forgot the directions I had printed out at home. Never one to panic, I knew I could always phone a friend for directions, but strangely neither Abe nor Ross were not answering their phones today. I had even arranged to bring along a pair of my own design for comparison, but even that did not work out. It seems it was simply not meant to be. Oh, well. Spent the afternoon at the in-laws...
