My Dad had the album - hmm wonder where that is now?

Only six more days of me answering questions that were mostly rhetorical, so enjoy it while it lasts.

Pat Paulsen died, on April 24, 1997, of pneumonia while in a Mexico altnernative treatment center for colon and brain cancer.

That was the easy part, but doesn't answer where he is. Find-a-Grave lists him as dead but doesn't know where he was buried or what happened to him. I can't find anything specific, though earlier in his life he joked that when he died he wanted to be cast in lucite and used as a coffee table. I'm guessing that didn't actually happen.

I did that to a pet frog when I was a kid. Although, it was more of a coaster than a coffee table.

My political persuasion?

Just a jump to the left, with a step to the right...

Why only 6 more days? What happens then?

I re-enter the traditional workplace (I've been working form home for the last two years which is why I have so much time to post here) from where I probably won't do much posting, and my evening time will be much more precious to me so I expect my message board activity will plummet to near-zero.

I don't know how it will all shake out (maybe I'll end up with nothing to do all day) but at least for some period I don't expect to be around much. So you'll all have to get used to not having someone around to remind you that religion is stupid, it is possible to hold both liberal and conservative positions, that homeopathy is quackery, support NA in rejecting Monty Python, and that some questions can be rhetorical.

On the other hand, someone else will get to have the final word every once in a while.

And I just noticed that I misread your post as asking where Paulsen is now, not the album. I think I will go to sleep now.

Dang, we lose more posters to the workplace. Quit your jobs people!

Better yet, keep your jobs and just stop actually working while there!
