Case nightmare

I'm trying to pick a case for my hand held pocket pc mobile device (in the dicitonary under redundant it says "see rendundant", right?)

buwahahaha

I should get my wireless card for it today which makes it way more useful than it is now. Lots of email integration etc. Always on the web.

So it'll have this wart sticking out of the top of it so it can go wireless. Seems for the case manufacturer this isn't a common thing to think about... I have to find one with a slit. The only one so far is a custom job out of spain. Ya you heard me right. Custom.

Guess how much that costs?

No i'm not gonna tell ya, I said to guess.

sides I don't really want tammy to know until 3 sweatshop driven kids south of Madrid are sewing away at dead cow for the sake of my hand held pocket inhabiting 400 mhz full color ram laden wireless pocket pc device...

Wake up post.

So I spent all day yesterday at my sister's husband's wake. It's kinda odd to call it "his" wake as he's really just a prop. He is technically the main attraction if you ask anyone, but that's clearly bullshit if you stay there for 6 hours.

My sister was the main attraction and thats as it should be.

I was asked by one of Dan's (the deceased) sisters to accompany my sister into the room for the initial contact. This proposition scared me a bit, but I've been to 3 wakes of my wife's grand parents so I wasn't so fearful as then. The thought of seeing a body the first time was scary as hell, this time It was nothing. My sister was very sad and that made me very sad.

In truth I wasn't close to the this person. To tell the absolute truth which is what I do, I didn't even like this person the few times I had contact with him. That doesn't make the situation any less sad. My sister has two small children and they now have no daddy.

It's over the top sad.

Being an atheist puts another spin on this too. I think it makes it more sad. When someone said that Dan had accepted "god's will" that bugged me because he didn't accept anything. His death was thrust upon him.

Today there is another viewing followed by a mass followed by a burial.

My atheist friend and mentor Sarah from vegas is in NY and her flight we figured out is 15 mins before mine on the same airline at the same airport we have plans to meet up so I'll be able to dump this on her which is going to get me through today. Some people would call that fate, or 'meant to be', Sarah and I call it a:
