I'm afraid I'm going to have to hold something of a pre-emptive Irish wake, tonight. My grandfather, Irv Gieseler, is not long for this mortal coil. My mom just called me, utterly frantic, and they're on their way down to Corydon right now. They frankly don't know if he's going to be there to say goodbye to when they get there.

As I'm several states away, I'm going to do the only thing I know how to do: hold a proper Irish wake for the silly old goit. If it's physically possible, please come join me in #rf-callahans and #RadioNosferatu on Undernet, bring your streaming audio proggies, and let's raise some merry energy to send the grand old fellow on his way.

I'm still kind of numb right now, so pardon some slight unresponsiveness until the coffee kicks in. *sigh*

I don't even have any notion how to get there but I will raise a toast of Bushmills and hope that suffices. Slainte Irv.

My thoughts and love go with you.

And yes I noticed the crow pic. I guess sometimes we have to embrace it.

I am thinking of you in this difficult time, dear friend.
