Here's cheers to absent friends.
Oct 17^th, 2008 at 12:17pm

Rally up, you ClusterHeads, and charge your glasses. Be it beer, champagne, water or Red Bull. Let's drink a toast to those who'd love to be here, but can't for various reasons.

Perhaps they're a bit off-colour this moment, or their computer's not working, or life's taken such a rotten twist they'd rather be here than where they are. Maybe they're just too busy helping others to take a bit of time for themselves.

The reason matters little 'cos we love them just the same, and look forward to hearing from them soon.

So rally up, you ClusterHeads, because I propose a toast -

To absent friends, and may they travel safely.
