At the Convenience of the Undertaker?

This is a phrase I've often seen at the end of winter obituaries. "Interment/burial will be held at the convenience of the family." Sounds nice, pleasant, considerate of the grieving family members.

NOT!

It's seems like it's more at the convenience of the funeral home. My father-in-law's burial would have cost more if held on a weekend, and since business is brisk apparently, we had to quick book a date soon. Hmph. So 1:00 on a Friday right before Memorial Weekend. Real convenient.

Midnight snacking?

Eric wanted a "sna" last night. At midnight, when he'd already had a pre-dinner snack, dinner (including 5 meatballs), and an after-dinner snack. He kept sitting up and talking about food, ba-ba, gogurt, sna. Sometime before 3 a.m. I think he finally conked out. At least today is gorgeous working at home, eighties and sunny, ahhh, summer is comin'.
