#344 Best Album of 1989 Matches Canceled This Week (9/29-10/3)
Hey folks,
In case you don’t follow me on Bluesky, I found out earlier today (Sunday 9/28) that my mom is not likely to live past this week, and maybe not even that long. This is not a surprise; she’d been ill for awhile, and we all knew this day was coming sooner rather than later. Still, it’s rough, as you can imagine, and it managed to catch me flat-footed anyway. I’m going to leave tomorrow morning sometime for a ten hour trip, and hope she’s still with us by the time I get there. (I would’ve left earlier today… but that’s different frustrating story.) Anyway, running the tournament is not that labor intensive, but I do need a place to run it from, and I can’t do it while driving a car. (I don’t even know where I’m staying when I get there!) It seems like the best course of action is to just clear the decks for this week and then see where we’re at Friday evening.
My apologies for this, but I already know you folks understand, because you’ve told me so on Bluesky and also because you’re the best damn bunch of musicheads an album tournament manager could ever ask for.
Talk to you again soon.
Love,
Kent
Take good care of yourself and your family, Kent. thanks for everything you do.
