(Altogether now!)We've been playing now for just over 4 years and while someone misses every now and then (work, vacation, car wrecks, etc.), I think we've only ever cancelled a session two or three times.  If memory serves, those were around the holidays and it wasn't possible to reach a quorum.Next?</blockquote>
