Well, you know what they say about plans....

You may have wondered why you didn't hear me in SS this year. For SS CW, 
I got a call early Saturday afternoon and had to go to the emergency room 
to sit with my Grandfather. I got home late and was exhausted, plus I was 
startig to nurse a cold. Sunday I felt worse. Since CW is so hard for me, 
I rested instead of operating.

The next week, my Mom died after a 3 year battle with cancer. While we 
were up in WV for the funeral, my Grandfather died 4 days later.

SS Phone weekend found me with a house full of relatives who had come for 
my Grandfather's funeral. So much for the planned full-time effort.

So, for CQ WW CW, I'm going to try to get on for a couple of hours, 
likely Friday and Saturday evening.
