?uest,<P>You know I respect you as an artist and all that but, I don't think that it's fair that you should have to do a show that will make you miss your holiday and mean that you can't be with an ailing family member; that is unfortunate. However, I must also say that I don't think it's fair that my grandfather had to work on his Thanksgivings and miss all of them for 8 straight years. But it's a job, and love it or hate it, you still have to do it. Everyone faces these problems but life goes on, you are no different from, to quote your Philly brethren, the "average joe". Take care, hope your family member gets well...Peace!
