This morning I was awakened by a phone call telling me that my father died.
It is going to take me a while to deal with this. I will try to take my time with responses and think them through so that I can minimize any unstable emotions in my responses, but this sort of thing I don't know exactly how I will respond. In the past I have noted that I have sometimes become short tempered in cases like this. If that happens, please accept my apologies beforehand.
This is going to force me to take some time off. I really don't want to, but I know that until I recover from this, I will be relatively useless when it comes to achieving the level of focus I need to run the models accurately.
In the mean time, I'm going to prioritize my emotional recovery to make sure it happens as quickly as possible, so I can get back to functional as soon as possible.
Thank you for your well wishes and your support. I greatly appreciate them, but I won't have the energy to respond for a while most likely. I'm sure Ben will do his best to help while I'm down, and I appreciate having staff like Ben who I can rely on for that sort of thing in cases like this. Thank you, Ben.
I'll be back.
