It's more that life can get busy with many competing demands for our time....
With the last several events, I've had business trips or personal things already planned, so maybe longer-term planning would help. Wouldnt help with work stuff, but might improve matters.
For me, the coffee meets are quite a distance and it's a challenge to motivate myself to go. I've also noticed that my wife wants go out quite often to go out shopping, and that impacts availability.
Hey - I am even challenged to get to another club's meetings that are just 8 blocks away, so don't feel bad - it's not personal!
My parts car could do a drive quite well (running like a top, but doesn't look like it yet) so participating is not an issue of pulling out my #1 car for a drive (you know - paranoia about geting hit).
Living in the SW suburbs, I think that I live just a bit far out of the mainstream for many of the do's.
BUT, I will do my best to make the mid-August meet!
