   I am pretty sure besides @pluralistic I am the furthest speaker from #FediMTL right now.

     Last week, my uncle died. He lived alone in Gulfport, Mississippi. His partner died a few months ago. My mother is his closest relative, but she doesn't travel much any more, so I flew down to take care of the practicalities and settle his affairs.

     After a week of unpacking closets, identifying family memorabilia spanning five generations, hauling trash, meeting lawyers and funeral directors, and taking my aunt and uncle on their last trip out to sea in the Gulf, I got to the Gulfport airport just in time to find out that my first flight was delayed and I'd miss my connection in Atlanta to Montreal.

     So, this morning I woke up in an airport hotel in Atlanta, and as my friends and colleagues are rolling into Le Ministère to have a Fediverse event in the city where it all began, I'm waiting at a gate to board my flight home.

     Thanks to the rest of the Fedimtl team for being super supportive as I have been running around doing everything except preparing for our event. And I hope my friends who are visiting Montreal for the first time have had fun over the last couple of days.

     I'm scheduled to arrive in Montreal before noon, and I'm on the schedule to speak this afternoon. I hope everything this morning goes smoothly. I can't wait to see you all!

     @evan I'm so sorry for your loss, and that travel nonsense can only be compounding the stress!

     I like Chad couldn't swing the logistics to attend in Montreal, but have got my streaming ticket and looking forward to your talk later!
