Yikes - Funerals are grueling!
Last nite was a 4 hour wake and today was the funeral. The funeral was really nice. I was doing ok until the army did the flag service, 21 gun salute and taps. That was very heartwrenching. After the service we went to a lunch at my grandparents church. Some of my Uncles had to stop at a bar on the way to lunch to have a one armed toast of Pabst Blue Ribbon for one armed Lenny (my grandpa) -- there are a bunch of crazy people in my Dad's family. I do think we have become more civilized thru the generations! :-) Or maybe the pattern is: one civilized generation, one crazy generation, one civilized generation, etc....
