"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. " -Helen Keller

There is something seriously wrong when...

you have to schedule a funeral around a tropical storm. Vic and his parents are originally from Puerto Rico. This means we have a lot of people coming from way out of town for this funeral. It also means that many of them are coming from an area that is having flights affected by the presence of Tropical Storm Hanna.

A lot of people couldn't get here until late last night or early today. That meant the earliest we could have had the viewing was this afternoon with the funeral tomorrow. But wait, same aforementioned Tropical Storm Hanna will be visiting the fine state of North Carolina tomorrow. Sooooo, the viewing had to be scheduled for Sunday afternoon (3 til 5) and the funeral is on Monday at 11 am.

I never thought we would have to schedule a funeral around a tropical storm's schedule.
