   One of my college band directors, Mike, relayed a story about one of his early jobs. He was a good singer and would sing for weddings, funerals or whatever event you wanted a singer to help finance his college education. He was singing “I’ll Fly Away” at a funeral and had not been told that the departed loved one had arranged with the mortuary for his body to sit up in the casket during the singing of the song. Mike said that his voice got kind of shaky but he finished the song. People can be pretty weird.

   Several years ago we had a small microwave fire. No other damage. We had to get new cabinets because the new microwave made them look shabby. We had to get new tile because the new cabinets made the flooring look bad. We had to get new carpet in the rest of the house so all of the flooring would look good. Of course you have to paint before you can put down new carpet. That was the most expensive microwave I ever bought.
