We Made It

We made it through the funeral and the cemetery and the after luncheon. That’s actually still going on but it’s wrapping up.

It was painful but good. We all came unglued a few times but we are all okay. My dad did great. He left the lunch a little early but he made it nearly all the way through. I’m proud of him.

Jammed

My camera somehow came off the take up spool on the last photo. Not sure how that happened. It felt like it jammed, but I am not sure that is the right word to use. The result was my first ever double exposure… even if it’s not a complete double exposure. It’s still kinda cool to think about.

It’s Starting

I’m dressed in a suit for the first time in years. I’m at my dad’s getting him dressed up too.

The wake starts two hours from now. I’m really nervous and I’m starting to freak out a little. I’ve never done this for a parent before. I’m very sad and really not looking forward to any of this.

ADDENDUM: We are at the wake. Doors don’t open for another 40 minutes or so, but the majority of the family is here. We are spending a little time together before any guests show up.

This is going to be tough.

Rewatch Bonanza

I had a tough day today. It’s going to be tough the next couple of days but that’s not relevant to this post. The tough day resulted in a lot of time in the living room vegging in front of the television. That means I was able to finish my Star Trek Picard two season rewatch with tons of time to spare before the third season premiere on Thursday.

It also means I was able to start the two-plus season rewatch of The Mandalorian with oodles of time before the third season premiere on March 1st. Hell, I may even throw in the full season of The Book of Boba Fett rather than just the three episodes with Mando and/or Grogu. We will see.
