The New 30

Thanks for all the birthday wishes today.  They have been coming in from so many directions that I haven’t been able to keep track of them all. This is a big year for me and most of my classmates.

60, the new 30  (but with meds)*

Now, to the person who sent me this picture…. thanks for the warm thoughts. (Only a fellow funeral director would think to send this).

Get it?

This actually is a coffin, as opposed to a casket, which is what we typically see.  It is based on the shape.  What you observe above is “anthropoidal” in shape, referring to the shape of a human….narrow at the head, wider at the shoulders and narrow at the feet.  (occasionally wider at the hips)   A casket is rectangular.

Another journey around the sun begins.

59 down, ? to go.

Thanks for being part of it so far.

*For the record, except for Motrin for my aches and pains, I take no other meds.
