No Doctor's note, but no harm, no foul, just know for the next time.
I was going to offer to go see their doctor and sick out of the trip I had just signed in for...
Thanks, Timbo. Glad to hear rationality ruled.

Thanks...makes sense the way you spell it out. But it does remind me of the mentality of the AF and how it would play out. Sometimes someone would be able to step in and say, "Stop it--this is stupid." Unfortunately, that wasn't all that often.
