I was looking at the obituaries in our local paper; saddened to see that while 6 people “passed away” and seven simply “died”, only two “went to be with our lord” or something to that effect; I’m not counting the one young lady that “Went to live with Jesus”, as I am not convinced by the writing there that she didn’t simply run off with a Mexican guy*. Nor am I counting another guy whose obit covered a most interesting live of 80+ years but did not indicate that he had left this earthly realm. He seemed to be a tough guy, I’m not counting him out just yet.

My obit won’t be near as interesting, but can I help it if I didn’t grow up in a hardscrabble logging camp?

* Not that there’s anything wrong with that! sheesh!
