Wally returned to the Bookstore today after five days off. He and his wife Linda attended the funeral of Linda's uncle at Arlington National Cemetery, near Washington D.C. He was a career naval officer and was buried with full military honors. Wally told us that they had a horseless rider taking part in the ceremony. That brought to mind scenes from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," which I did not think appropriate for such an occasion. Upon further questioning, Wally admitted that it was in fact a riderless horse. That seems much more appropriate for such a solemn occasion.
Hahahaha! I just read this and almost fell off my chair I was laughing sooo hard! I think I'm turning pink...I can't stop laughing! Wally, bless your heart! I was trying to figure out why they made a ritualistic horse sacrifice!

ReplyDeleteave,
ReplyDeleteRobyn and I were sitting at the library, perusing your blog. When I came upon this entry I literally went into hysterics, nearly choking on a carrot and snorting out loud in the library. This was particularly the case when I imagined you and Wally having this conversation. Thank you for the respite from pretending to do work.
