Pic of the Day: “What I’m… gonna say… will sound strange.” “What happened? Come inside.” “Could we talk about Buck’s funeral?” “What?” “It’ll seem trivial. But, it’s on my mind and I’d like to talk about it. When I was getting dressed for Buck’s funeral…” “Calvin, what’s the matter with you?” “Just let me get it off my chest,OK?” “What could getting dressed for Buck’s funeral… have to do with anything, right now?” “I was wearing a blue shirt. You said, ‘wear a white shirt and the other shoes’. It was nothing at the time, but, it seemed to stay with me. And I, for some reason, had been thinking about it and it suddenly occurred to me, what difference did it make what I wore to Buck’s funeral?” “Uh, huh.” “Just hear me out, Beth, it won’t hurt you to listen!” “I won’t listen to that. No one in their right mind would listen to that!” “I just want to talk about something I always remembered.” “Why do you want to remind me?” “Because I’ve always wondered, in some needling way, what it mattered what I wore. I was crazy that day. We were going to our son’s funeral and you were worried about what I wore on my feet. I’m sure it sounds like nothing to you, but it stuck with me and I just wanted… to tell you about it.” (45th Anniversary)
