Maybe they mean cologne? Like, scent-free?
Oh, please let this be the answer.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Maria, you are absolutely right on the burden of dealing with other mourners. Family isn't too bad, but there's a lot of performative grief that is being laid on my sister & nieces by people who barely knew A, and it's so hard on them. I get the impulse, but seriously, do people not understand basic courtesy?

Sure, but the outer tier of mourners are there for the drama and the future gossip of critiquing the performance. "So-and-so certainly didn't seem that upset." "Oh, I know. I wonder . . . "

Why is Boreanaz playing a SEAL so surprising, Tom?
Well, the Steely Dan album is lousy, too.

Mourning is such a *production* in this culture. I hope it eases up for you and your family, Consuela.

I remember my mom getting all flustered about the house being neat when we were sitting shiva.

Ugh. Fucking people. I'm so sorry, Consuela. Just grieving is exhausting, having to deal with other people is really too much.
