Found out at the funeral that the mom HAS NEVER been to a funeral before. :-O.
I told her "Anything. You want me to come and drink with you, I'll bring something tasty. You want me to bring a paint gun and a target, fine. I've seen all the reactions and you will NOT surprise, shock, or scare me."
She's Armenian. Anybody have any information on their mourning customs? I know her husband would basically say not to get his wife started on Armenia, so it's something she hasn't had recognized in her married life of almost 20 years. He was a sweetheart, just had enough of the topic was what I could see.
Extant of my knowledge right now: where to find Armenia on a map, "starving Armenians", and 4 quarters of Jerusalem's Old City, Jewish, Christian, Moslem, and Armenian. (Climbing up a ladder, diving off the high dive into the deep end of the Internet for pearls on Armenia)
