[JPL] Back from Miami & family emergency, Rochester

[Arturo]

I arrived late Tuesday night from my unplanned trip to Miami due to a
pressing family matter concerning my eldery Mom, a situation that has not
been completely resolved, very frustrating for me. This trip has put a
serious dent in my disposable income and makes it impossible for me to
attend the Summit.

I am a very optimistic, happy-go-lucky person but being human I am kind of
blue right now. I will be attending the Telluride fetival this weekend as I
know the music and envoirment will restore my positivity and the expenses
involved were paid for months ago.

I am saddened not only by my family situation but that I won't be able to go
to the Summit, a gathering I want so much to be a part of.
