Long Weekend ... Short Post

I've been out of town for a few days. On Friday, I conducted a memorial service for my father-in-law, who passed away this week. Quite a task. But I was able to create a very personal eulogy that honored the man. And as near as I can tell, the service went well. I received many good comments from my wife's family. Family members seem to have received the comfort and hope they needed, as well as something to think about. The next day, I had to drive from Bethlehem, PA, to Washington, NJ, to catch the rest of a weekend retreat for my classes. It was already in progress, but I only missed the Friday evening teaching session. I'm back now, and I am beat. My brain is burnt. I'll be back to regular blogging tomorrow. I have an interesting story or two. Just ask me about the disappearing tie bar.
