Well the memorial for his grandmother is Tuesday. So we're flying out Sunday, along with his little sister, to go be with the family and pay our respects. Glad I can go. Missing 2 days of classes for it, but its worth it.
On a lighter note, we have our coilovers! Our cat approves of them and is climbing all over the box and trying to get into it. She loves boxes. But I think she likes the low that has just entered our house
