I wish to extend a heartfelt apology to all members. I am often invited to join in drops and most of the time, I end up declining. This is only because most of the time, I either don't have long to be on, or I am on call and very often have to quit right in the middle of a match to answer my phone or respond to an emergency. I am a shelter veterinarian who works for the 5th largest county in Florida and consequently, my animal control officers tend to be very busy, including nights and weekends. Any medical problems, I get called. I get tired of it sometimes, but it's my chosen profession. I don't want all of you thinking I am shunning you, but I feel bad when I suddenly have to drop out on a lance or game. I would rather you fight without me in those circumstances because I would not be an asset to the team. I will accept invites when I can. But at any rate, I always appreciate the hails.
