Thanks. The old man and my wife left me posted up at the house while they went to the mortuary that day to make arrangements. Specific instructions to "watch the master bedroom".

I let them all congregate in the living room while I was outside watching the wife and old man pull off. Then I walked in the house and announced "The Old Man says no one goes in the Master Bedroom until he gets home. He wants it exactly the way they left it". And I closed the door. I saw a few of them eye it over the next few hours but none dared make a play.

Edit to get back on topic: I'm 9 beers into this thing. I'm actually ahead of the curve because I've drank them so fast. I'm at that point I quit while I'm ahead or I try to ride the wave. Because that's exactly what this buzz is doing right now...it's swelling behind me like the perfect wave and I either need to start paddling and get ready to stand up or drink a couple more and wait on the next one.
