god doesnt close a door without pissing on your face.
in a bizarre twist of fate, i will be in the philadelphia area this sunday night. my grandfather died this afternoon at the age of 92. i was in a coffee shop here in amsterdam when my sister broke the news via cell phone. we had just escaped a hail storm.
im leaving holland sunday morning now to catch the sunday night flight home. ill probably be around for most of thanksgiving as well, i guess. i dont know, because the travel agent hasnt sorted out all the bereavement flights yet.
in other news, i can finally tell a teacher that my absence is due to a dead relative. its not nearly as fulfilling as i had imagined.
