Because I HAVE to.

I don't get any cell service at home, so if anybody tried to call that number, I would never get the call. I just drove 8 hours up to Maine for the class with Tim Zowada, only to find out once I arrive that Tim was involved in a motorcycle crash on Friday, and the class has been canceled.
From what I understand, Tim is bruised and battered, but will mend. For this, I am sure many many people (especially Tim!) are thankful, but damn it, I wish somebody had made more of an effort to get the word out to us students that we should not come! I gave up a paying gig for this class, and now I not only miss out on that paycheck, but I have to pay for the gas and tolls for this journey of no reason or reward.
Every other word out of my mouth right now is a deleted expletive!
