Tomorrow I have my improv class and then I'm driving out to Kalamazoo. The wake is Sunday and the funeral is Monday. Found a dog-friendly hotel nearby that didn't have mostly horrible reviews on travelocity and hotels.com. I have great friends. I'm only a few hours away, but one friend is driving 7 hours and another is flying in from Nantucket. Good people. Glad I get to see them, though the circumstances are pure shit.
