well FUCK. clara's hubby john needs back surgery and will probably be in recovery for 6 weeks or so - so now she's not sure she'll be able to come visit in august. she said perhaps she can visit some time after that, but i want her here in AUGUST for the Jimmy Buffett concert!! argh, perhaps it's a bit selfish on my part - it's obviously pretty serious if he's gonna take over a month to recover - but i was really looking forward to the concert. i guess it's not totally off just yet, perhaps she'll know more after the doc's visit on tuesday.

major bummer. *8-(
