great post, thank you. the one with the beer reminds me of my friend's funeral just before i left active duty. we had the obligatory memorial on base, but it kind of surprised us that all of the senior leadership followed us to the cemetary. they weren't real thrilled with what they saw and tried to stop it, but the my friend's widow stood her ground and we continued. we covered his urn with stickers from all of his favorite bands and sports teams and as they buried the urn we all stood around and got pretty well lit on maker's mark, which happened to be his favorite beverage.
celebrate the life, not the death.
