I just spoke with my mom's longtime attorney who, after he laughed hysterically, said, "I don't give a FUCK who she says she is, I'm gonna wipe the floor with her ass."

yeah, most universities don't have "leave" for faculty. You just do your thing (it's too much of a pain to deal with leave vs. holidays vs. breaks, etc.) If you have something to do, you cancel class. You try not to do it too often. Sometimes, if you know that you will be out on a particular day in advance, you build it into your syllabus and schedule a make up class or plan to cover a bit more material in a few classes. Some professors will also build a "review" day into the syllabus to give them some leeway.

I was thinking the same thing.
He should put it on his business cards.
I think someone just drove by listening to an audio book. The doppler effect was weeeeeeird.
So G's grandad died, and he flew home this morning for the wake and funeral. It's sad, but not unexpected.
I'm countering my feeling useless for being far away, and selfish because I miss him, by drinking wine and eating cheese for dinner. Way too much cheese. Not quite enough wine yet, because I am by myself and don't want to turn into my mother just yet.
Bleh.
And now that I'm caught up - Happy Birthday to Perkins and to the board!
