Just great. Funeral on Saturday.

My uncle (who I haven't seen for years, and had Alzheimers really bad,) has died.

My Mom has me going with her.

I can't stand funerals to begin with, they are so boring.

And I have several relatives who are hardcore Teabaggers.

Just about every time we have a family get-together for whatever reason with my Mom's family, the Teabaggers get into big arguments with the more liberal family.

I hope the funeral home has Wi-Fi.

You have to admit, it's one of the big events of any life, a funeral. Who doesn't wonder what theirs will be like, if anyone will come and care and say nice things, even if they don't really want a fuss?

Go and care and say nice things. It's the right thing to do.

My uncle and his family were decent people.

I just hope as few of the Teabaggers in the relatives' ranks show up.

about families trying to tolerate one another at holidays and weddings and funerals. Stay strong.
