I'm gonna have to look for that book that splains stuff about life at sea in the Aubrey-Maturin novels. Some things just make me scratch my head and go HUH?
I'll be flying home early Friday morning; I have a commitment to Clare's Girl Scout troop tomorrow, and that's important to me. I know Mama would understand, and there's nothing that I need to be there for tomorrow anyway. They're planning a Friday night wake and Rosary and a Saturday funeral. I'll stay until late Sunday, or maybe even Monday to visit with the family.
Please keep me in your prayers for a safe trip!
