I agree with mattyburn7. You've been a good player and very reliable with turns, and you're definitely welcome to continue in the game if you wish. Unless there are objections, I'm happy to delay the game for a few days if you think that will help. I hesitate to delay for more than 4 or 5 days, though, for fear that the game will lose momentum; I've seen that happen before. If you think you'll need longer than that, it may be best for me to look for a sub.
Or, if you think subbing out would be best, that's also fine.
Whatever you prefer- these are definitely extenuating circumstances, but all for the best.
No need to apologize for the stales (it's as much my fault for not noticing), and I hope your son does well.
Let me know what you'd like me to do.
