. INCROYABLE . GRAVE ............... RIP: Rudolph Nureyev . . The grave of the famous Russian Ballet Dancer Rudolph Nureyev in the St. Genevieve-de-Bois cem...etery was called the Russian cemetery in Paris. The carpet that covers the tomb is not really a carpet - but a lavish tombstone of small mosaics that make an intricate Russian Caucasian rug - designed by the dancer’s Italian friend. So vivid are the rendering of details, so beautiful are the colors for an amazing and renowned servant of the arts. Rudolph Nureyev was an aficionado and avid collector of oriental rugs throughout his life. Indeed - it is a resplendent symbol of his theatricality - his profound love of beauty and is befitting of a Legend.! . See more

Eric Toneff was a good friend and colleague. He was my always "hit you upside the head with a 2x4" buddy, as I often told him I wanted to hit him upside the head with a 2x4. He often made unbelievably poor choices, always with the best of intentions, or self serving personal gratification. It really depended on the day.

Just stop already with live posting deaths on Facebook. If you have a narcissistic need to be "the One" to "be first"...there is a gossip tool called Messenger, where friends can tell you in private that a public post is a poor judgement call. Particularly when the family has not yet been notified!!! Especially when the family who does know is in grief and shock and despair and trying to function, trying to just breathe. ... Imagine being in that position of just trying to absorb a tragic, unimaginable loss for about 10 minutes before your phone starts blowing up from strangers who " saw it on Facebook". Now imagine the panic of trying to contact family and notify kids before their friends read about it first. A loss that you need time to comprehend...requires the compassion that quiet, undisturbed, silence can only provide. Moment of important etiquette here...unless you see an IMMEDIATE family member post publicly, or you see a PUBLIC obituary notice...ANY posting, texts, or discussions need to be kept private. Not only is it piss poor form to do otherwise, it is actually illegal as well, not to mention it is possibly the single most insensitive thing you can do to a grieving family. Just stop already.

Everybody has that one cousin.... *sigh*
