So long, and thanks for all the fish.

I've been self employed since 1998...I've had to write self descriptions for bios of blogs and websites for years...so I guess you could say I'm intimate with my personal history

How about you?

Mine would say “ Here lies Sandy, meh.”

I think it's a good idea to secretly write out what you wish your eulogy would be, and then try to live up to it. You'll never know, but the eulogy someone writes about you just might match what you wish would be said!

Do you not think that is a bit pretentious? To write about ones self what "I" think the "Why" of my life if all about. So far its just to "spin the wheel" a little further down as i see it. Not much of a eulogy. Just lost and eventually forgotten. not much of an epitaph. Plant fertilizer is what should be put on the piece of nothing they should not put on the rock they don't put on the dirt they put around the tree they use to use to fill a hole.

Eef. I'd rather not.

I wrote and read a eulogy for a very close friend who passed away last month and concluded I should probably write my own. Maybe even record a video eulogy. I’ve left instructions to have my cremated remains placed in an empty handle of Canadian whiskey and placed permanently at my favorite bar where the wake will be. I’m a planner so it’s hard to accept I won’t be able to put my whole last party together. And it seems I have a bit of an ego.

I have forbidden any kind of service, including a eulogy, when people figure out that I am no more. Instead, I have this crazy idea: I am working on a podcast, about an hour long, with a little commentary, but mostly carefully selected music which will be my final meditation on life and death. That way, it’s portable in terms of both time and space. Having lots of fun putting it together!
