I went to a funeral today for a good man and was thinking about the two times that I was a pallbearer. The great honor to be asked. Have you ever been one?

I have. I was one at my grandmother's funeral. Also gave my first eulogy, which was a really cool thing to be asked to do.

That's cool that you gave the eulogy. I don't think I could do it.

Yes. For old people and young people. Young people are the hardest.

It's an honor, try doing it for a really big friend who had heavy taste in caskets....it can be a challenge.

I was for my paternal grandfather. It was a sobering and sad experience.

There's nothing cool about it.

What's cool is skydiving or driving a bugattit on the autobahn like a bat out of hell.
