I'm On Loan

I'm being loaned out to one of our friendlier competitors tomorrow. They are apparently having two funerals and need our hearse and a driver. This will be only my second time driving in a procession. I'm told this funeral home uses lead cars; I hope that's true as I've never led a procession. I was also told that while the owner is on vacation next month, I'll probably be conducting the funerals at the National Cemetery. When that happens, I will be leading processions without the benefit of a lead car. Still, I won't be alone, as we always take two people to the National Cemetery. I still haven't sat with any more families. We are off to a slow start to the New Year; only three calls in nine days. We finally got our trim paint, and our embalmer and all around handyman is working on that this week.
