Alone again

I called Luke this morning to finalize travel plans only to hear that he is no longer going. Our coach determined that with the way things are going over at Cesana, no coach for the EC, and Luke's relative inexperience that it may be too much. Luke was bummed, but also relieved. I am not sure if the door is closed for all other sliders, but that is my expectation at this stage. The caution level is up a notch for me, but I am still going.
