Yeah, quite happy. Never got that Leica M9 I asked for, but I suspect that is because the "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FARKIN' MIND?!" clause applied to family budgeting.

Marc, you must of had a great birthday! How does the weather station work? It looks like the top measurement is barometric pressure. What are the other two readings under that? It really is a very beautiful thing! This must have a very special sentimental value to you also.

Glad you had a nice birthday.
Very sentimental. I have my father's two, old fountain pens (one from his early school days, given him by his father - no monetary value, but the sentimental value is through the roof! ), his tingsha he got a couple of years before the end, when Buddhist meditation was helping him through the treatments, his meditation bench, and now the weather station.

That's exactly it.

That photo is not my photo. That's what it will look like. At the moment it looks like two boxes of half-sorted pieces and a whole lot of edge-pieces layed out on cardboard.

True, thought they've made the edging hard. The image on every edge piece is white to the edge, and a bit of "gold" frame on the inner side. Normally the edge is a good place to start...they've made this one hard.

The dome (actually a plastic) is not sealed, and is built to rotate. It has a small arrow on it at barometer level, so you can align it with the needle and see how it changes from time-to-time. This rotational ability also leaves significant gap around the base, allowing air in. Relative to another hygrometer and thermometer, and local barometric pressure on-line, it seems pretty accurate (though allows for adjustment of hygrometer and barometer with two screws in the base).

I wish you comfort, and the knowledge not to worry. It won't be until later that you'll see that the memorial is another moment...one that is important to you, but one that is another in a long lifetime of memory of your father, and one where your "performance" is not an element for anyone's judgement, least of all your own. It is about you, KK, or, more to the point your own, personal memorialisation and honouring inside your Self. You already do that memorial proud, regardless of external events. I think, though, that at that event, you will surprise yourself with your strength (also remembering that grief is not a weakness).

My hugs to you.

Cheers,
Marc

I made it through pretty well. the first part of the service I was pretty much a wreck but then got into an internal dialogue with myself. I told me that it was pretty selfish for me to be carrying on this way as this was to be a celebration of his life and I needed to tell the stories that I wanted to tell. my voice quavered a bit, but I got through it. my son spoke after me and did an absolutely brilliant job.

now we need to figure out the best way to work with my Mom to make her happy. that won't start for two more days as people leave

I wish you comfort as there is so much you still have to deal with and go through the motions of everyday life. When you finally get to have the time alone to grieve for your Father, I like to think he's listening and misses you too.

I just got off the phone with my daughter - she got married today. But they're in Texas, and we're in Illinois, so I didn't get to be there. She called right before she walked down the aisle and had both of us crying. They just now got home from the reception, evidently her friends there threw a pretty huge barbeque for them. So she called to tell me she loves me and missed me today.

Congrats to you and your new family... sounds like a happy day. Although, I hope one of my kids weddings are a ways away. Strange I say that because I was 20 when I got married which is my eldest sons age right now. He just seems so young.

Poor Shel!

That's sad and nice all wrapped up together.
Like a Lifetime movie. Before the first commercial.

Congrats!!!

Did they record the ceremony? Maybe you can watch it that way.
