travels, funerals, etc.

okay, so we leave for funeral-type activities in south dakota tomorrow a.m. we are staying at the (insert ironic tone here) fancy schmancy Lake Preston Motel. i'm not planning on finding any little chocolates on the pillow, put it that way.
the "visitation" is sunday afternoon. i'm incredibly melancholy today. had some friends-- jill and mike -- from minot stay over a night on the way back from illinois, and we were discussing kids going to funerals. i heard mike say a great quote that needs to be immortalized in blog-land:
"Funerals combine the shock and sadness of death with the boringness of church."
that says it all.
nice work, mr. mike rose.
so will i be blogging from south dakota? not likely.
however after south dakota we'll be heading to the sister state of north dakota for the rest of the week. minot just screams blogging. it does. you weren't there. i heard it.
