Cool! Glad you enjoyed the post, and good insight. I agree it was totally worth the early morning commute – wish we had made it earlier, though!

Great perspective on the ceremony, I really enjoy your writing. I also found the ceremony to be really affecting, and though your comment about horseshoes is fairly apt, I thought it was really touching that they made sure every last stick that fell eventually went into the flames, leaving no sadness unburned. Well worth getting out of bed to stand in the rain for.
