Dear Boud and Everybody,
Yesterday in the evening our family plans crystalized with unfortunately bad perspective for my coming to Torun. The problem is that for my wife father is in hospital, undergone a serious operation. He's 83 , disabled after Parkinson disease (my mother in law also cannot go out of her home) and they live 200 km away from us, so the present situation makes us practically commuting to their place every few days.
I'm sorry (especially since I support the the idea of COSMO-PL meetings with all my heart). Anyway although not being able to attend this time, the name "Spring Meeting" suggests perspective for its becoming a long-term (if not perpetual) enterprise. So it would be good to think of the date for "Fall Meeting 2006" which could take place in Silesia for example.
