As a somewhat accomplished bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a grave side service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper’s cemetery in deep east Texas. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost; and being a typical man I didn't stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late and I saw the funeral people had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play. The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man. And as I played 'Amazing Grace,' the workers began to weep. They wept,I wept, and we all wept together.
When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full. As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say,” Sweet Mother of Jesus, I never seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."

It's snowing in Woodbine, big wet flakes and lots of them.
On the track, I am fearless.

Wait a minute Titus isn't in the state and it is raining??? WTF!!
Been in California for 2 weeks. Flew out here when hospice began helping care for my grandmother. Funeral was yesterdayGot snow/ice chains waiting?Time to go home.
Thanks!
Interestingly, it rained the first 11 days I was here. They have been in a drought for 3 years. Some say my presence saved the state and prevented tens of thousands of deaths.
Just called my mom in OKC. They have had sleet and freezing rain. Now it is snowing up there.

So I interact almost every day with a team of people in India, but I still don't get Indian names. Here's an example:
This is his email address:
"Cherian, Thykadavil K." <[email protected]>
Do I call this guy Cherian? Thykadavil? Mr. T? Does anyone have a clue? I'd like to avoid offending these guys when I converse with them. I know it may surprise some of you, but I actually try not to offend the people I work with.

When in doubt call them Jimmy!
How about Mr. Cherian ??
