The way you nonchalantly mentioned your dad died last week caught me off guard -- my condolences!

Thank you. But he was two months shy of his 90th birthday and, except for struggles with osteoarthritis and Parkinson's, he had a good run. I'm sad that he's gone, but it's not like it took anyone by surprise. And I'm glad that his suffering, which towards the end was not insignificant (though he was very stoic about it), is over.

The last week has actually been pretty (ahem) interesting in a lot of ways. I should probably write a blog post about it.
