It will be the "Wrinkles in abentia dive". We'll observe a moment of silence for your inablility to attend and then "hoot and holler" with joy all the way into the water because we know we'll have new stories to tell you about "your" dive by the end of the day.
Even if you are "physically" not there, you will be there in spirit. Although, I can see how that may not be QUITE as fun for you!
Maybe I can make another one of your dives in September. I'm currently trying to wrangle one of my friends into going over to my cousin's pool to get some "ballpark" buoyancy and trim issues in order with my new gear. So far, everyone is telling me that they are busy for a couple of weeks. I'm trying to be philosophically consitent with my belief in "no solo diving for me", even if it is just in a pool!
