<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings Visionaires –</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Over the years I have posted some rather . . . strange
(for lack of a better term) . . . comments. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This one will make those pale in comparison.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A few months ago, Rodna (that’s my significant other) and
I joined the Neptune Society. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Instead of going into long, boring details explaining the
Neptune Society to y’all, I’ll let you read about it for yourselves . .
.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“The Neptune Society”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.neptunesociety.com/" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.neptunesociety.com/">http://www.neptunesociety.com/</a></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The two things about the Neptune Society that appealed to
me are:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) Cremation and ashes seem a lot more appealing to
me than slowly degenerating into worm dung.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Well . . . enough with the preface to this posting.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since the Neptune Society cannot legally store the urns
(a law that was passed back in 2007), you guessed it . . .</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The urns were delivered to us yesterday. Here is a
photo of one of them.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.tomandrodna.com/Stuff/The_Urn.jpg" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.TomandRodna.com/Stuff/The_Urn.jpg">http://www.TomandRodna.com/Stuff/The_Urn.jpg</a></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And, just like any other product, this came with a short
paragraph of instructions</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img border="0" alt="The_Urn_Label.jpg" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1&view=att&th=12a96910c712bd8d&attid=0.1&disp=emb&realattid=9dd2c28e73aded3f_0.0.1&zw" width="592" height="491"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Not only that, but I will be toting it with me until . .
. well . . . you know.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any ideas?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hey, I told you this was going to be weird.</p>
