this year...
I've missed the last two (and I live in LV) This year I was home in Maryland for two weeks. Last year I was on an Alaskan poker cruise.
I'm still waiting on the convention 2009 dates to be announced so that I can make alternate plans for it too.***
It will be good to see you whenever it may be.
Best Regards,
Murph

***This is a joke and in no way shoud it be construed as a dig on the current BOD with regard to convention date announcement or should it be assumed that I want to miss the 2009 convention. Actually I may make the convention a priority and actually attend it next year.
