More random thoughts - and Alex I like where you've taken things so all well by this OP.

Yesterday being my mom's deathaversary I actually felt quite good about her. We had the house full of conspiring people and I made cocktails and played host as my mother would have done, serving odd liquors to unsuspecting guests - seemed I was almost channeling her and I thought she'd be rather proud of me (as well as Lisa and her new business(es)).

I like that notion of not leaving a ripple, but I realize that there is a certain ripple I do hope to leave and maybe it comes out of this post-mortum detective work, I hope to leave enough intriguing artifacts to have a stranger make up an imaginary life for me - and really I don't care much about the veracity of the tale as long as it's entertaining.

I'd also hope that the people I know will say the benefited from knowing me - and not in that feed the hungry kind of way, but rather they they engaged in some mischief they might not of otherwise, and had a good time doing so - that would give me good imaginary afterlife grin.

Thanks again for the stories I'm loving them all.
