Went to my friend Art's memorial service yesterday.

It was pretty good. It was held in a Unitarian church nearby their home and while I like the church I wasn't fond of the Reverend "selling" his church during the initial opening of the ceremony. Otherwise though he did good especially for the short notice they were given.

The get-together at their house afterwards turned out to be good as well.

Most of the time was spent in the garage with friends smoking tobacco and drinking Guinness. Both the beer and the memories flowed smoothly and it was an enjoyable time for all concerned.

At the end of the night I made sure to say a prayer over my friend's ashes and make sure that he was freely disconnected from them so he could go wherever he wanted to go. Fare Well.
