The only person who was crazy enough to do what I really wanted died last fall, so I won’t get my Viking funeral, so it’s ashes for me after all. Now we’ve got an ongoing debate here. My husband thinks the backyard would be fine for his ashes. I told him if so he’ll be there alone. Now I want mine floating out to sea from a cove on an island I spent great summers by. He thinks that’s extravagant. But it’s because he can’t swim.. He suggested upstate new York near Cooperstown - I don’t because I think it’s haunted. (I know, I know, redundant) so we’ve decided to annoy the kids by making them decide.

I love the ashes cartoon. I have a long story about ashes, too involved to tell, except it involved sneaking ashes across the Atlantic in a pair of folded trousers, an art exhibit, the Berlin Wall, a heavy rainstorm, champagne, a dirty rotter, a fast get-away, a job well done and a tell-tale headline in the local newspaper. I know a lot about ashes now. Thanks for all your inspiration.
