There is a lot of news happening tonight (grrrr), and I will write about it tomorrow. And maybe draw it. But in the meantime, enjoy my silly ashes cartoon above!
Thank you for being here, as always. You guys are the best.

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.
