    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.
