final resting place

dear old dad was a 100% pure icelander. a true viking. he had my back for 60 years and the thought of not having him watch my back was truly distressing so i took action. once again, he has my back. he is watching my back at this very moment:

i sealed a portion of his ashes into the regal viking. his is the first face i see each morning and the last face i see before retiring for the evening. my sister is not amused. she was upset when i sent her a photo journal of the entombment and ceremony i performed. she and i are polar opposites. so it goes.

i love you sons of bitches.

Well, maybe you could give her a share of the ashes to put in her chosen receptacle.
What you did was a lot more dignified that what Walter and the Dude did with Danny's ashes in the Big Lebowski. I wonder if that scene is available in You Tube.

I don't recall you mentioning your dad dying, when was that?

I might have a chance to visit Iceland this fall. Sorry about your dad passing.

I'm so sorry...but if he's a true viking..then he's flirting with the Goddess and drinking beer made by Aegir...

dora - a trip to iceland, sounds like heaven on earth.

js - he's in asgard reviewing budgets and charting stars for odin.

A fitting tribute, and a good way for you to keep the conversation going with the old man...

thims - me and dad were always shaking hands are perfecting our grips. just like me and sonny do every time he drops by.

as long as you and i are here, put it there.

i hope you and atticus do the same thing.
