Funerals and Me


People who know me know that I do joy a LOT better than I do grief.   But on the 48th day of 2023, I had to face grief.  And, on 2/17/2023, we did grief together as the family and friends of Ron Sherr.  And, you know, grief together is better than grief alone and, I guess, this is why funerals are important events.  Funerals and Me, not always a good pair, but I think I did well today.  I was able to get up and tell a few stories, I loved seeing my family, many of whom I rarely see, and, more importantly, we celebrated Ron's life.  We laughed, we cried, we prayed, we probably even sang a bit, inside and out.  Because, as I said today, Ron was Music and Art and Music and Art is what we all need.  And it was the communal funeral event that brought that to light to all of us.  So, I guess, funerals are OK after all.  But, as I also said, I'd like more weddings and fewer funerals :).

Uncle Ron and Me

  I knew that the 43rd day of 2023 would be the day I broke my streak of non-posts. Sorry for the busyness of life (mainly work) that is taking my time and sapping my inspiration for posts. But, on 2/12/2023, I knew I was going to post. I THOUGHT it would be about the Superbowl and the Eagles but, today's 23 and me is not about that (and not because they lost). No, the Family Sherr experienced a larger and more significant loss today, and that is why my post is about Uncle Ron and Me. Yes, friends, that means that DJ Rockin' Ron Sherr passed on from this life today. He fought his sicknesses for a long, long time and he lived a long, full of music and joy, life up until the end. My favorite Ron memory is when people told me they loved that my brother was such a good DJ for the Middle School dances. Yep - my in-his-70s uncle could pass as a guy in his 40s. Because Ron's joy and love of music and photography and making people happy (and dancing) truly kept him young ...

My Birthday and Me

Image
  It's not that I mind being a year older (as I say, it beats the alternative), but I am not always enthusiastic about celebrating my own birthday.  But, on the 77th day of 2023, I did have to think about My Birthday and Me.  First, I attended a funeral of a fellow umpire, who recently passed away suddenly after a cancer diagnosis, and I discovered, by reading the obituary in the paper, that he was younger then I am.  As a mentor to me on the baseball and softball diamonds, I assumed he was older, and I was wrong.  Funerals always make me think of mortality and that was an interesting juxtaposition of thoughts on the morning my my own date of being born.  Then it was to the amazing March Boys Birthday Luncheon that our family always has.  The first one we have had without Grandpa Bill George, and so, once again, mortality thoughts crept into my head.  And there were the amazing messages from my friends and family.  On Facebook, Texts, Cards, ...

The Palestra and Me

Image
  Day #62 of 2023 was the last game, in the 2022-23 season, for Penn Basketball in the wonder that is The Palestra ("College Basketball's Most HISTORIC Gym").  It did not end the way we were hoping on 3/3/23, as the Penn Women fell to dreaded Princeton.  And my reflections tonight are about The Palestra and Me.  I an so lucky to have been a part of the Penn Band that has allowed me to take in hundreds (maybe even thousands) of contests in this cathedral.  So, tonight, I spent my last evening in the Palestra until probably November tonight, at least there will be baseball soon!
