Welp, dad called today and cancelled. He's having extreme(ly) weird pains in his joints, and said even an old leg break from playing soccer 40+ years ago had him up all night. He's in no mood to drive 6 hours.
So, an invitation to a graduation party from my wife's newer boss is next up.
Hopefully my drunken spewing doesn't ruin her chance for promotion to QA position. . .
