points about the funeral I attended yesterday.

1. The priest gave the Gospel reading out of a small white three-ring binder. It has more impact when it comes from a gigantic gilt-edged tome.

2. A daughter sang Schubert's Ave Maria. There's a difference between a vibrato and a warble.

3. The closing hymn was "When the Saints Go Marching In." Never heard that at a funeral before. Catholics do not sing with gusto.
