Well shoot, of course you cry at weddings, graduations --- how about
those pageants the little ones are in? Real tearjerkers, they are.
Don't forget Bambi, Old Yeller, and that bunch. Danged Disney, anyhow.
But you've proved me right --- when it's *real* you flee the room.
You don't put on a show, tearing your hair and clothes, you quietly slip
out and have a private moment.
There is a great deal to be happy about, even when we are knee deep in
it. Every day I get up and check the paper, and if my obit isn't in
there, I have a great day. ;-)

Yup! And Hallmark commercials... And granddaughter's
dancing. And grandson playing his grandfather's instrument
in the school concert, and...

I am not a "pretty" crier, I turn red, my nose runs, my
eyebrows crinkle, I sob aloud, I hiccup... I have to exit,
everyone would gag!

So true, although I gave up reading the obits, too many of
my generation seem to be there now. :-}

Reno is still a small enough town, that all too often there are people
we know in there.

And the sore throat. There was a time I wondered what a
"lump in the throat" was. Now I know.

Portland is only about twice as large, still small enough I
see obits for people I know.

I hate to cry. I do sometimes, not often. I nearly lost a friend
because I didn't cry on 9/11. She thought I should have.
