     <p>Have Fun!
 
-    <p>
-    On a less happy note, My 92 year old grandmother (my dad's mom) passed away
-    yesterday (June 19th).  The funeral will be Thursday in a little town about
-    2 hours south of my home.  I've checked and there is absolutely no way I
-    could be back in time for the funeral if I attend <a
-    href="http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2004/">OLS</a> and give my presentation
-    as scheduled.
-    <p>
-    As such, it is with great reluctance and sadness that I have come
-    to the conclusion I will have to make my appologies and skip OLS
-    this year.
