I’m in Berkeley, Calif., helping a friend of 50 years who has suffered a small stroke. He has also proposed my moving in with him. His wife died two months after mine did, and he says the house is too big for just him.
So maybe it’s back to the People’s Republic of Berkeley, where I lived from 1969 to ’79. Then I moved to New Iberia La., before moving overseas. It’s like I’m retracing the pathway my life leads me, and will end up in Elmwood Cemetery (in Wayland Township), where a paid for plot awaits my cremains.
That’s just being pragmatic, I don’t attach any significance to dead bodies or rituals. I believe when you die, that’s all she wrote, and nothing more.
