Is there a particular reason we are cramming the picnic, memorial and the talk on the choosing into one day?

It seems to make short shrift of the grief brought out in the memorial service, as if we're just ticking off items on a 'things to do list'.

It seems more natural to me if we put off the choosing talk til the following game day - make it early in the am and then we can spend the day talking about it. I can do the Daisy/Pio dialog. Other hobbits can talk this decision over with friends and family. it will be a frightfully big decision for most of them. If we dump it on them in the same day as the memorial, the poor dears won't get any sleep at all!
