Get Low Duck

I realize that I am not supposed to be in a cemetery, because I am a Kohane. So I go in my street clothes, instead of my priestly garb. One day, I will lie here in a shroud, to be followed by Sharon. Pretty wierd feeling to be looking up at the sky from the spot where I will lay for eternity.

In Get Low, Felix Bush, no relation to George, Jeb, or Prescott, had a funeral while he was still a life in being. He used the occaison to explain to the community why he had become a hermit and to divest himself, using a raffle which anyone who came could be a participant, of his lumber rich property. Reminds me of the woman who used the rest room at a funeral home in NYC after signing the guest book and received a piece of the estate which the deceased had set aside to reward anyone who came to her funeral. His confession, while somewhat equivocal, didn’t make him out to be one of the world’s finest man, but it cleaned his slate. Then he died.

An interesting concept though, having people come to your funeral while you are alive so you can hear what they think of you.

  1. Hi!I find what you publish very engaging and helpful. I started connecting through Internet 15 years ago but only with e-mail to my overseas associates and students, three years back I took an on the web course and got hooked. Your post made me notice that instinctively we look for persons with our same views to share what we know and ask what we do not know.

  2. Excellent blog! I truly love how it’s easy on my eyes and also the data are well written. I am wondering how I might be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your rss feed which ought to do the trick! Have a nice day!
