*pops up*<br/><br/>Okay.  It has been a dramatic weekend, good and bad alike.<br/><br/>We intered my father's ashes friday.  (He's been dead for almost two years, but he had a final lesson to teach at the Med School.)<br/><br/>We're not so big on grave goods in this day and age, but I had to send him away with a conductors baton.<br/><br/>Then I spent a weekend feasting in his memory wiht my mother, sister, unlce and aunt, and the occasional family friends.  (I was actualy online some . I had to hide from the food.)  Monday night I actualy recovered from all that.<br/><br/>Can someone help me catch up?
