On July 6th a friend of mine published my obituary. The post was not correct.

Bob
I was really taken aback when I read of your "demise". I really enjoy your site and appreciate your candor, point of view, and willingness to share your experiences with others on this journey.
Thanks
John

Well...two things. First, was it a nice obituary? Must have been nice to be a 'fly on the wall' ...sort of like that fantasy of being an observer at one's own funeral (something I've actually never thought about). Just think....now someone is going to have to write a brand new obituary for you, with all new compliments. You get to be praised twice!

Second thing...at least, unlike the time (about six months ago) I was declared dead, you don't have to fight with Social Security over it. At least, I hope you don't! Have you ever had to PROVE to some government agency that you are, in fact, alive? Or worse still, the credit reporting agencies...especially when you want to get a loan?

I gotta tell ya'....by the time I was done, I DESERVED to see a lovely obituary notice.

I hope that you have framed yours.

I'm very glad that you are still alive, kicking and writing. I'm glad I am.

But dang. I envy you your obituary.
