The memorial service that was postponed last Saturday has been moved to this Saturday.  I'm going to be helping set up and herding mourners.  Unfortunately, I will have to back out of the reading.  The service is in San Diego, otherwise I'd try to make it somehow.  But not with a drive like that.  Bummed.  I even bought the play and rehearsed a little.  But meh.  The friend I lost was an amazing woman that stood in for my parents (way back when) when they were incapable of embracing a gay son.  I think being there for her is of the utmost importance now.  But I will see many at the campout which I am definitely going to.
