Independence

The funeral was easily the largest I’ve been to, and likely the largest I’ll ever attend.  Over 100 priests were in attendance, some of which I’d known from my own childhood.  Thousands were there.  Insanity. I was supposed to do a reading, but as I knew would happen, that changed.  Not that I particularly cared […]

Countdown

I’m going to Burning Man in 58 days. I’m about to explode from it all.  The planning is crazed, but more organized, I suppose.  I’m going to be cooking out there a good deal, and also volunteering selling ice, as I normally do. I’m also going to be single this time, and looking much better […]

My personal relationship with him is a tricky one.  Priests in the family mean that every […]

At My Funeral…

I will have prepared a video of myself dancing and singing to the tune “The Song That Doesn’t End,” and will have that video done such that it loops (no pun intended) perfectly.  Leaving or stopping the singing would be considered disrespectful.  All night long, not knowing what it was, singing it forever just because…
