Funny! I have never camped and plan to keep the streak alive.

To: secret garden

When I got home from doing an estimate, I turned on the TV to see some news, and a cathedral full of people were mourning at the funeral Mass for Biden’s son who died of cancer-that was at about 11am. I turned off the TV, went about my business-turned it on an hour later, and there were generals giving speeches and awarding medals to the deceased-I thought he was a JAG officer-you would have thought some head of state had died-I half expected the pope to show up and canonize him right there.

Perhaps I’m being insensitive, but what is the point of all that public demonstration of grief, complete with Obama playing a role? I realize the man was too young to die, but is all that really considered tasteful or necessary?
