A sad note...

Eclipsed by all the trauma in the world at the moment, it is worth

reflecting on the death of a memorable person, which almost went

unnoticed last week. Larry La Prise, the man who wrote "The Hokey

Pokey" died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his

family was getting him into the coffin.

They put his left leg in... and then the trouble started.
