[Vision2020] Something DEFINITELY Different

[John Pool]

I too am getting this message about once per day. I just figured it was Ted
who, wanting to drive his point home, kept resending it. It probably has
something to do with global warming.

Is anyone else getting this message about once per day or so, or is it my
computer?

Another alternative for a final "resting" place:

while the other half are poured into San Francisco Bay.

Greetings Visionaires -

 

Over the years I have posted some rather . . . strange (for lack of a better
term) . . . comments.  

 

I hear what you're saying'.  You're probably thinking, "No!  Not Tom Hansen.
Not hard-charging thoughtful Tom 'Brad Pitt' Hansen!"  Well, you would be
wrong (but thanks for comparing me to Brad Pitt, anyway).

 

This one will make those pale in comparison.

 

A few months ago, Rodna (that's my significant other) and I joined the
Neptune Society.  

 

Instead of going into long, boring details explaining the Neptune Society to
y'all, I'll let you read about it for yourselves . . .

 

"The Neptune Society"

http://www.neptunesociety.com/

 

The two things about the Neptune Society that appealed to me are:

 

1)  It's a lot less expensive than a funeral and a casket (a one-time
payment of just under $3,500 covers both of us - absolutely no more
payments)

 

2)  Cremation and ashes seem a lot more appealing to me than slowly
degenerating into worm dung.

 

Well . . . enough with the preface to this posting.

 

Since the Neptune Society cannot legally store the urns (a law that was
passed back in 2007), you guessed it . . .

 

The urns were delivered to us yesterday.  Here is a photo of one of them.

And, just like any other product, this came with a short paragraph of
instructions

Yes.  That's right, V-peeps.  No matter what kindnesses I share (or have
shared), feelings I provoke (or have provoked), or relationships I take
pleasure in (or have enjoyed) in the past 59 years along with the next 30
years (hey, I ain't leavin' any time soon) . . . after all is said and done,
it's the "plastic bag provided with the urn" for yours truly.  

 

Not only that, but I will be toting it with me until . . . well . . . you
know.

 

So, I have decided that if I am going to be responsible for maintaining the
urn, its contents, and the "plastic bag provided with the urn", I might as
well give my final residence a name.

 

Any ideas?

 

Hey, I told you this was going to be weird.
