That sucks, Jeff. I hope that you heal quickly. As a former optician, I know that eye problems are not to be taken lightly. You are doing the right thing.

Jeff,

It’s been a while and it’s great to hear from you.  I hope you are well and have a speedy recovery.  Please keep us posted on your progress.  I had heard through the grapevine that you were going to Decfest and I was really looking forward to going as well.  Unfortunately I also had to cancel my trip due to a work conflict with my wife.  To echo what Jeff said…..I also have one spot that is available at the full price to stay in the castle.  

It kills me to say this, but I am also most likely also not going to attend-- just returned earlier this week from a two week international trip including 5 different countries and 7 different airports.  It seems both physically and mentally daunting to get on another flight so soon.  That said, I will assess for another day and make up my mind tomorrow.

I will also have a bunk to give up that I had booked last year.
