The CAP program is a good one. I do two or three CAP assessments each
year. I just got back from one on Monhegan Island, 10 miles off the
downeast coast of Maine, assessing conditions at the granite lighthouse,
and the wood-framed cottage and art studio of Rockwell Kent. He built
them himself in 1906-1910, with help from a couple of carpenter friends.
Saw photos of him on the roof laying up the chimney, and planing boards
at the bench. The woodshavings were still piled up under the
cottage--almost like shaking hands with the man himself.

> Jekyll Island Executive Director Bill Donohue's son, A.J., died Saturday at the age of 18 after a 2 year battle with cancer. A.J. faced his illness with courage and faith so my general sense of weirdness is only partly a result of his passing. As a parent, I can't even fathom the idea of burying a child. My father lost a 25 year old brother in an auto accident and my mother lost a 39 year old brother as the result of a military plane crash, so this issue is not new to members of the Clan Robinson.

> victorian funeral homes, videos of the deceased, etc. give me pause. In the old days the undertaker would fit you with a casket (a plain pine box) embalm you, and take you back to your home for a day of visitation with friends and family. Men, usually cousins or uncles, would "sit up with the dead" all night and the next day the undertakers wagon/hearse would take you to the church for the service. After the service you would then be toted next door to the church cemetery for burial. A process that was sweet, simple, to the point, and very protestant.
> The concept of the "funeral home"... where did this come from? I have never been in a funeral home that I would want to be caught dead in. Floral print wall paper, taped recordings of "Danny Boy" over the loudspeaker (for God's sake, I am not Irish or Catholic), emotional videos (you can buy these as a
> memento) showing scenes from your life. Cheeze city. I understand the need for a larger venue to accommodate guests, but good grief. Last night everyone was piled into an adjacent room watching video footage of a healthy, happy A.J., while his wasted earthly remains were alone against the wall with no one as much as paying him two seconds of attention. Unnerving for me...but I guess it is not about me.
> Anyway, I am going to build my own coffin from heart pine. It is going to be a plain rectangular box that can be used as a coffee table until I need it. Just plop a piece of glass on top and add a couple of books and coasters and no one will know the difference. My body will be displayed at home for one evening and everyone will get drunk (even the baptists) and tell stories about how I could be such an ass but, by God, I was a lovely ass.
