And, then

I guess just dropping in to say "I'm off to a funeral" is rude. It was for someone very close to people I'm very close to. I don't know, not much I want to say about it.

Meanwhile, just last week I workshopped a short story which centers on a funeral. I had scheduled a session with the instructor tonight to go over it, but postponed due to the real, actual funeral I was attending. I am back home in time to have made that appointment, but I know that I would not have had a really easy time talking about my story with the fresh memory of today's activities.
