no, I mean, seriously, I do! Like a lot!
(a little lighter entry than I've been writing lately...)
Well, ok, so whenever we have a funeral, the casket is put right beside/underneath the choir loft stairs, so even though I try not to, I can't help but looking right into the face of the deceased as I'm walking down the stairs!
(As I'm looking down and watching the steps so as not to trip, as the stairs curve around, the person is right in my view, below me and just a little to the left.)
It's just a little... weird.
Dead people look weird.
I'm not sure I'll ever get used to them. I know the idea that the funeral home people (or whoever dresses 'em up,) is to make them look like they're sleeping, but they're still always kind of...pale, like I know they have makeup on.
What a weird job I had. I never knew that "not being able to avoid looking at dead people regularly" was in the job description for "church music director."

Had??
oh, sorry. I have no idea why I typed that.
"HAVE," of course!
