[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

I'm really sorry I missed this year's event, gents. I know how good it can be. The fact is I've spent most of this weekend in a blur and dizzy, not good for a new prescription. The eye dr said it would be a while to get used to this, but it doesn't seem to be happening. Eye exhaustion has been an issue; I've spent most most of my weekend asleep off and on because of that. I'm afraid I wouldn't have been very good company.

I hope to see you all soon.

Congrats to Jon. Talk to you soon, mate. It's been way too long, especially after 30 years. This is dumb, dumb, dumb.

Gotta sign off now, lads, have to rest my eyes for work tomorrow.

Good night and Godspeed.
