My list of excuses:
'07 I did not trust my vehicle to make long trip carrying precious Savage cargo.
'08 Losing my job of 20 years.
'09 Had new job but not enough vacation time.
'10 Horrible boss at new job wants me to quit and denied my vacation request.
'11 Another new job (Thank God!) but no fest.
Maybe 2012 will be my year!
