My plans to be out and about this afternoon seem to be thwarted by rainy weather. Hmph.
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy Birthday, Tom!
Glad to hear the good news about your mother, Theo.
JZ, those pictures of David's father with Matilda, Emmett and David were lovely. Thank you for posting them.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Huge hugs to you and your mom, Theo!
Hec is still in bed. He had...not a great night, but he's asleep now, which is good.
I've been trolling travel websites looking at prices to Miami, and it looks like we'll have to start calling the individual airlines asking about bereavement fares. Has anyone had any experience with this? Any advice?

Our wings are not tired.
I don't know about bereavement fares, JZ. Check prices to FLL and PBI too though because sometimes they are quite different, and I would happily transport as needed. Also, big hugs. I hope Hec gets some good rest this morning.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
JZ, when I went to my grandfather's funeral, I was told that airlines have more or less dropped bereavement fares since their standard web fares are already lower than a bereavement discount (on a full fare ticket) would be.

Bereavement fares are based on the highest unrestricted price for the flights, not the low fares, JZ, so finding a regular last minute fare has always been cheaper for us.

Laura, bless you! I did notice that about Fort Lauderdale, and Hec says (he just staggered up for coffee) that yep, it's not too far away.

“Not dead yet!”
And frankly, JZ, FLL is a MUCH better airport to fly into. Easier to get in and out of and much less congested than MIA. If at all possible, I'd recommend flying into there.
