<![CDATA[Funerals and memorials]]>Today is Holocaust Memorial Day.  I performed a song in Yiddish and a song in Hebrew at my synagogue.
I've had three funerals in the last month - one of which I officiated.
I'm pretty close to burn out and figure this is a safe place to vent.

Back when Tony Blair was PM of the UK, they brought in Civics and there was a TV show hosted by John Prescott, the then Deputy PM.  Anyway, in the very first episode, they had 2 girls that got A*** (over exaggerated perfect score) in the class.  They had no idea who they were talking to and when asked, they said they thought he was Churchill.

Jamie Oliver did a TV series about kids eating healthy food and the kids had no idea what 90% of the stuff was, including common items like apple and potatoes.

These numbers are frighting.
