Colbert will be replacing Letterman.
WHAT?
That will actually make it less likely that I will watch him. Bummer.
tommyrot, in my family we only go to funerals if it's relatively easy to manage. I didn't go to my one grandmother's funeral, which I do still feel a little bad about, but I couldn't afford the travel at the time. My one uncle never got a funeral or memorial or anything. My mother didn't go to her father's funeral (nor did any members of my immediate family besides my dad, who happened to be geographically available) because we couldn't manage the travel - more distant members of the family apparently remarked upon it, but the actual close relatives understood. Neither of my siblings came to the most recent uncle's funeral, because it was too far. I did because I could pretty easily. I'm super grateful that my immediate family came some fairly long distances for DH's funeral, but I clearly needed them. So.
Not going because too much anxiety seems like an okay choice to me, especially as it is significantly out of town.
CRaig Ferguson supposedly had right of first refusal. I wonder if he actually refused or if they maneuvered around him - I'm sure we'll get gossip about it eventually...
Funerals really depend on grief for me. My great-aunt died not long ago, but I didn't go, and my mother didn't even expect me to. I hadn't seen her in probably 30 years. But when a close friend's husband died, I drove down from upstate New York to go to the funeral and support her.

Yeah. I love Ferguson, but I can't imagine him in an 11:30 time slot *with* Geoff Peterson, and I wouldn't want him to give that up.

Aaaand, she quit.
Are you terribly surprised? She sounded sketchy from the get-go.

Both are good things that I am looking forward to.
eta: I need to learn to double read before hitting Post.
Better that she quit now, when you have less invested in her. Any way you can convert the intern to paid status?
Man, I always feel silly printing out a pdf so I can sign it, scan it, and e-mail the scan back.

I'm okay with both of those things.
