re: strange thread - agreed we're weaving the technicolor dreamcoat or something
let me add a strange story re: the funerals in 1990: one Friday night, I come home from Kol Nidre services (the beginning of Yom Kippur) to learn that my father's father had just passed away in Miami. His funeral was going to be Monday in NY. I had to get tickets to fly to NY on Sunday. On Saturday, my aunt (his daughter) passed away in Houston. The funeral was also going to be in NY on Monday. My son (age 10 at the time) insisted on going with me. We stayed with my other aunt and uncle in Woodmere, Long Island not far from JFK airport. Drove to the Bronx for Grandpa's graveside Orthodox funeral. Then to a funeral home on Coney Island Ave. in Brooklyn for my aunt's service, then to a cemetary about 50 miles away in Westchester County for her burial. Then back to Long Island. I won't forget that day for a while... Son was offended that because he wasn't 13 yet they wouldn't let him toss a shovelfull of earth into his great-grandpa's grave. :-( what makes it even wierder: my dad's brother and his wife had moved to Florida. But they were in NY that weekend for their 50th Wedding Anniv. party on Sunday. Instead of the party, my uncle had to plan his father's and sister's funerals. and my aunt was muttering about how grandpa had ruined her wedding day 50 years before, and now from death he was managing to ruin her anniversary - as if he planned it or something. can you say w-i-e-r-d ?? -Ben -Ben > My wife's grandmother (Russian Jew) was supposed to be buried in 24 hours and I > was told that this was an Orthodox Jewish > tradition... > > At any rate, this is the strangest thread I've ever seen <g> > > Howie > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 6:51 PM > Subject: Re: Dim Sum (was: Mmmmm Sushi) > > > > 3 days > > > ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
