Dad and Jan figure they will take a few days to straighten out the most immediate issues and close up Ardis's house. Then they will return to New Jersey and Virginia, respectively, for Christmas. Since Ardis's body will be cremated (after the autopsy), there is no rush to have the funeral. The current thinking is that it will be in mid-January.
I hope I can get a few days off work to attend, but as we have no dates yet, there is not much point in hashing out scheduling issues with PM before New Year's. I suppose I should at least mention the possibility, though.

In other news, I figured out how to fix the main thematic problem with my Yuletide story. The other problem (the WTF angsty development) needs two separate fixes. One is easy. The other basically means I have to go over the whole story very carefully and make sure I am blending the consequences in smoothly all the way through, which is a lot easier said than done.
Still, I think I can manage.

And now I am off to work.
