I’m in a bit of a mood this morning because it’s another funeral weekend in eastern KY. There are some bright spots – I’m told the leaves are quickly turning to red, gold and orange on the route to Ashland. So that’s something. Plus I get to spend some good time with the grandsons today (driving them to Ashland) and tomorrow (at their grandmother’s house). So maybe things even out.

Speaking of funerals, I’m pretty sure this is where I want to end up. It’s cheaper than a traditional burial, and knocks a few last things off my bucket list. I should go ahead and purchase my “seat” now. I hope some friends come to the launch party.
