What Would You Want On Your Tombstone?

[4everClone]

Ashes spread by family in a few favorite places: Minnesota lake cabin we went to every year, Maui, family farm and the tailgate lots at ISU.
Or...if there were a gravestone: Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, wine (or beer) in one hand, chocolate in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming, "WOO HOO, what a ride!"

Now I might have to go walk the local cemetery to see what ideas I can get for my Tombstone. I need something good.

So basically yours will either have something about the loss of a good woman or the existential crisis that ensued after that happened.

The names of the singers and the names of the women who done ya wrong.

We got Elise from a Cure song. Didn't use it (for obvious reasons) but liquor and a playlist will give you some ideas.

Dear human archeologists, aliens, or ai robots of the year 5023, how would you like it if I dug up your grave and displayed you in a museum? Actually it’s cool, go for it. Please offer free admission for kids.

Would you do something like those body exhibits?

Amazing stuff.

I had to go to a visitation yesterday for the mom of a family that I grew up with in small town southern Iowa. Being from such a small town, we were raised by the village, as they say. Everyone knew everyone and their kids. Anyway, as I worked my way through the line and got to the family, I mentioned to the wife of one of the gal's sons, how in the cemetery that they were going to bury her in seemed like a town reunion now. That going there as a young boy, you would know a few people, but now its half the cemetery. Looking over the gravestones I see the parents of friends that I grew up with, a few of those friends, all my aunts and uncles scattered all over this tiny little plot of land.

In the past four years, I have buried an uncle, my favorite aunt, my father, my daughter, oldest brother, and last month my mom. All in this tiny rural cemetery, it's almost like they have moved from the little town we all grew up in west 3 miles and are now all there, quiet and peaceful.

Yeah I'd want to ease any guilt they have about digging me up, I mean I went to the King Tut exhibit so I'd be a hypocrite not to make them feel welcome even if they are robots or aliens.

When is that year though? Totally accepted by the world to dig somebody up 2000 or 3000 years later. Cool to dig them up 50 years later? Definitely not. 800? 300?

It's really kind of crazy, we're all just humans. Obviously everybody's not going to be able to have their own permanent 10 foot plot for tens of thousands of years.

Yeah, you know Randy, I think it was it was huge for us. Obviously, we had, you know, seven really good games to evaluate. And, you know, what are we doing? Well, you know, where are those margins for us that we need to continue to fill in? And, you know, what, what are, you know, what’s the process for us to get there. And, you know, I, again, I, we really spent the first half of of last week, you know, really in in that process, which I think helped us, we did it on offense, defense and special teams. And, you know, I think anytime you get a chance to do that, it gives you a little bit more clarity. And, you know, a lot, obviously, a lot of that will keep in house as we continue to prepare for these last couple opponents. But, you know, I think the biggest thing for us is evaluation of, you know, who, number one, do we have the right players on the field? Number two, man, are we putting those guys in the right position to be successful? And, you know, and then if we’re not, you know, how do we make sure whether it’s schematically or personnel wise, do we make the changes we need to make moving forward?
