Tomorrow we are hosting a...wake? celebration of life? what?...at our house for a friend who died of head injuries while we were in Ireland. Here because he just "wasn't a churchy type."

He got a cup of coffee, told his wife he'd see her downstairs, she heard a heavy thud, he never regained consciousness....

Well, we're happy to do what we can. It's not something you refuse if asked; folks are coming from literally from thousands of miles away. Buck was a good one and will be sorely missed.
