The silence is deafening

The RSVPs are a little slow in coming. Are people scuffling to find reasonable excuses for why they can't get to Wichita 2012? Were they hoping for the end of the world to come today? Or are they merely holding their breath while the Indians are in first place?

These questions I cannot answer.

I can say this: Betsy will most likely not be at Wichita 2012. Our plans for cross-country travel, which have been in the works for at least 3 years, have been replaced by the expectation of another child. #5 is due in December. We hope to name him Rocky, or simply #5.

I am not yet prepared to cancel my plans to go to Wichita. I just have to teach Aidan and Wesley to drive so that I don't have to drive 22 straight hours.
