Now for story time.
I ummm, kinda, sorta, buried somebody today. For real. OK, it was cremains and not an actual body. Then again, the cremains were once a body. The lady who had the memorial service this mornin’ had a space in the Columbarium over to the church house. Anywho, the service and committal got done, and when the folks finally left (just stand around forever and have a reunion right there in the Memorial Garden why don’t ya!) I had the joy of openin’ up the space, transferrin’ the cremains from the container they were in (they were in a plastic bag sealed shut with a plastic zip tie, so I didn’t acutally touch ‘em) into the much longer and narrower container we use in the Columbarium, seal the container, plopin’ said container of cremains into the slot, and screwin’ the little cover back down over it all. So, see, I buried somebody today. At the time I did all this (took all of ten minutes) I didn’t think about it, but on the way home it hit me. I walked in da cave, announced to OYKW that I had just buried somebody and promptly had two martinis at one o’clock in the afternoon. If that was not a reason to day drink, then I don’t know what is.
So there ya have my story. I can add gravedigger to my skill set.
