Couldn't attend.

I had a medical appointment yesterday. As my father says, "Take care of Mark first."

Besides, I really don't want to fly anywhere, unless absolutely necessary, given the current clusterfuck about airport security.

I might fly out to Tulsa after Thanksgiving anyway, rent a car and drive over to see Dad at his nursing home in Siloam Springs, and Mom and my sister Michele at their home in Springdale. I'd rather visit living people than go to funerals.
