Thanks everyone for the thoughts and sympathies. Both I and my family appreciate them.<br/><br/>To add insult to injury, I caught the virus someplace and have been miserable, in bed and as weak as a kitten since Sunday. I only managed to attend the funeral, but beyond that, I haven't been up to anything but keeping fluids down, nevermind food... that just wasn't happening until last night.<br/><br/>I feel some better this morning, not great, but at least I'm ut and moving... sorta.<br/><br/>I'm happy to continue with this game with new players, starting a new game with more players or whatever ya'll want to do. Unfortunately, losing half of a group isn't unusual for group games. Most of the ones that I've tried have only lasted 3 to 4 weeks.
