« Previous EntriesThe Undertaking
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007Ok, so I tuned in to “the show”. Well done! Was glad to see that cremation was portrayed favorably.
As always, I’m interested in the behind the scenes. According to the article in American Funeral Director, it took David Fanning the executive Producer of “Frontline” 12 years to get Lynch to agree to […]
I Don’t Want to be a Blog Whore
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007This post has drug on for days. We have a blockage in the garden.
Jetpacks put up a thought-provoking post regarding corporate blogging. The great social media experiment yields questions in my simple mind. Lately, I’ve been struggling with using this forum as a marketing vehicle for my urn business.
It’s likely I’ll use a blog to […]
No More Wire Hangers!
Thursday, October 25th, 2007When your clothes have cobwebs on them, you might consider cleaning out the closet. And so it goes.
Cull it down to the minimum. If it requires a foundation undergarment to smooth the surface….lose it. I’ve been hanging on to the past and since I don’t dress for success anymore, I’m chucking the old […]
Undercover Assignment
Monday, October 22nd, 2007Life is strange right now.
The current undercover assignment is both amusing and frustrating.
Here’s what I can reveal.
There are an alarming number of humans on the streets at 4:30 AM jogging, walking, and biking. Also, the brightest star is visible in the eastern sky at that hour. It is Hamal? Or Venus perhaps? Please advise. It’s […]
Full Circle
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007Observations from the garden:
Circles. I’ve been thinking about them in so many ways.
How we are all just spinning. How our culture is connecting to our primitive beginnings with our jet packs on.
Let’s start at a basic level. Footwear. What’s the most popular style today, and also the oldest?
Flip flops.
What ancient custom […]
Time After Time
Monday, October 15th, 2007While reflecting on Deidre Blair’s post regarding hiring a photographer for a funeral or memorial service I was reminded that the last two funerals I’ve attended in the last couple of months, my last “living” encounter with the deceased was at previous visitation gatherings. Who knew?
The last time I saw the Rook family […]
Sunday Stroll
Monday, October 15th, 2007Good Monday!
Lighter Garden Fare:
Just wanted to introduce some of my research assistants on the great Irish Spring experiment. Note to self: Check into Irish Spring pay-for-post opps.
These are some tough cats. They share space with three Rotties. Good hunters. This is four of the five, missed the little black and white. […]
Arizona Heartbreak
Monday, October 15th, 2007Our deepest sympathies to the families of Josh Clark, Keane Moss, James DeAnda, and Tiffany LeTexier in Sierra Vista, AZ.
A chance encounter last week, led us to the LaTexier family, and the story unfolded from there. How the parents cope with the pain of this terrible tragedy is a mystery. Please pray […]
TSA Makes An Ash of Itself
Thursday, October 11th, 2007Can’t be too careful I guess. Last week hundreds of travelers were evacuated from the Indianapolis International Airport and had to go through security a second time Friday after an urn with cremated remains was improperly screened, authorities said.
Transportation Security Administration said officials could not locate the passenger to rescreen the urn, so the […]
The Great Social Media Experiment Pt. 2
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007Relevancy anyone?
While we started the blog as an outreach for our clients, it has evolved into both a personal expression as well as an unexplained mystery.
It’s sexy time in the garden. Not only is the UAE landing here, but also visitors from Iran, Pakistan, and Morocco trolling for sexy Dubai. Sorry, wrong number.
I’m still getting […]
