Life Cycles

Two years ago today I sat in a large room that was made up to look artificially cozy. I bought a casket for my favorite person in the whole world on her birthday.

I also thought about how the funeral industry could really use better sales technology, but they probably won't invest in it because they don't need to.

Last year, my amazing friends made sure I was surrounded with love and tolerated me taking lobsters out of their tank.

Today, my friends will eat German food with me to keep me distracted from the fact that caskets should not be birthday presents.

It's a hell of a day, but I've got some amazing friends.
