I had been to a Facebook wedding. Now I have been to a Facebook funeral. Actually, this was mostly a memorial service. A picture of the departed was up front along with some flowers. There was plenty of laughs tonight when stories were shared, which was appropriate for a comedian. It's what I prefer as we should celebrate life, not mourn it. It may have been crowded there inside, but it was well worth it to be there as many of my friends were there. I saw numerous easels at the funeral home showing photos, and a folded American flag was on display as he was a Vietnam veteran.
I went through some of my bags of tourist items tonight, and found some more postcards. Looks like I have enough to fill a photo album. I like postcards as they're small and cheap. I noticed I had more than one of the 'spoon and cherry' at the Walker in Minneapolis, but one had a red border on it and the other did not. I will be sending a few items to the office, such as more buttons. Last night I found some from the animated show 'South Park', tonight the buttons found were from the Hard Rock Cafe in London. It was the first time I had seen my passport since I had went to Great Britain in June. I decided to move it back to the place I had been keeping it, which is in a drawer next to some other important items to me. One item I found that is being moved to the office was from some earlier travels, from Florida nearly a year ago. It was a little baseball bat keychain sponsored by State Farm Insurance, likely given to me at a Tampa Bay Rays game. I already have plenty of keychains so this is why it will likely go unused and on a shelf at work. Sometimes more than one is on the same ring.
I am finding out I am becoming the same way with luggage tags- although this is a more recent discovery. One of them was bought in London- there was an Olympic logo on it. Another one I bought when at the Bastille Day celebration in July has 'not worth taking' in French. I finally put it on a bag tonight as I just found it again, but it is on a bag full of ties and ballcaps. This bag doesn't go outside much so there was no real requirement to have a tag, but I wanted it used somewhere.
