nothing fun today!! I may have to travel to the outer reaches of the universe (read: Archibald, PA) to attend a memorial service for my great aunt.

No need for condolences, I never met the woman. I only know that it seems important to my mother that I take part in one of the last great Irish funerals my family will ever see. Apparently, this involves a great deal of whiskey. Did I mention the whiskey? Definitely a bonus.

the long drive, however, might not be.
