Sad Situation

I have a family emergency that has come up, and I have to be out of state for a few days.  I expect to return to regular posting in the middle of next week.

My grandfather is passing away.  He's been in critical condition for a few weeks now, but unexpectedly last night he had to be put on morphine and is under home hospice care.  Morphine, as I'm sure you know, relaxes the body but it also derails the nervous and respiratory system very quickly, so he is expected to pass away within the next few days.  If he does pass away tonight or tomorrow, the funeral will be held early in the week and I will stay for that.
