The house was filled with people there for many reasons; to be there to weep, to party, to eat the food, because their wives made them or because they were ashamed not to. It was awful and wonderful. So many were crowded into my bedroom that the beds and all the chairs and the sitting places were taken and we were sitting in the closet, each with a beer and cigarette, where we got them was a blessing and a curse.
