A friend of mine wanted to be freeze dried, treated with epoxy as a cast, then mounted on the OSU-Oregon campus mall. Of course there was some expectation of an inappropriate hand sign!

I don't need that much social commentary for my remains, but expect to be cremated. After I am 'dead', it seems rather unimportant as to what is done with the remains, but I would rather not clog any culverts. I think it might be nice, in forsight, to have my ashes spread along the shore of Pyramid Lake Nevada, east side. A very beautiful place to rest among the old fish bones, extinct shells, and tulfa. Maybe even just outside one of the palio-indian rock shelters, taking my place along with the rest of history.

Now months latter, one divorce, one business shutdown, and partial unemployment, I have wondered how much closer is this 'end'?

Sadly now, someone would need to send my ash remains to the indian reservation parks person for the spreading, but I feel it to be premature for such a plan.

A new spring, new flowers, a new love, and a deeper soul, maybe I still have time to get my mortality right?

I haven't found one better than the old classic: "I expected this, but not so soon."

"Non fui, fui, non sum." I was not, I was, I am not.

Here I lay in a hole. My next best friend may be a mole.

Shorten it, perhaps to "What I dined on is now dining on me."
