Two Morticians Walk Into a Bar...
I've recently started reading the blog of one
Caleb Wilde, a Funeral Director in Chester County, PA, who writes about death, dying, and grief in both a serious and humorous way.
I've always thought that being a funeral director would be an extremely satisfying job. After all, you're helping people through some of the worst times of their lives. I could never do it myself, though - while the idea of a dead body doesn't bother me, the idea of embalming
does. It seems a very morbid and quite barbaric custom.
Not in a million years
Would I get into the Chamonix Skywalk's "
Step into the Void" installation. Crap on a cracker.
And the wonders therein
The
2013 National Geographic Photography Contest is over, and the winners are in. So, so cool.
Resolutions that matter
Something worth thinking about -
how making excuses for yourself and your life leads to misery. Or more succinctly -
love is a verb.
Video of the Week
This is a cover of the song "If I Die Young" by The Band Perry, sung by the lovely
Amanda Powers. Amanda is the daughter of long time reader, fellow UCFer, and good friend
Shawn Powers, and she recorded this for me. Thank you, Amanda.

Re. "Step into the void."
Seems like everywhere you go there are 'excursion helicopter rides' being offered. Probably would not be a big technical feat to build a chopper out of this material.
I'm been on dozens of helicopter rides but don't know how I would feel about one where you could see directly through the floor and walls.
The problem with most "excursion helicopter rides" is that I don't have access to their preventive maintenance records.
OCD! OCD! OCD for you and me!
And being able to see through the bottom? Oh, HELL NO.
I've thought of this song often and Amanda has done a lovely cover. Thanks for sharing and we should hear more of her.
I'll take a little anxiety and insomnia with my OCD please; the trifecta, if you will.
HELLNOCOPTER. That is all.
Well done, Amanda!
Anne, she is kind of the bomb-diggity, isn't she?
She is. Raised right, that one. ;)
