I always just hope it's not weird that I have a running list of possible songs to be played at my service. Which is dumb because I won't be there to hear them.

My mother has informed us that if "Nearer My God" is played, she will haunt us. I feel it's safer to assume she can hear them.

My mother is 100% against Amazing Grace. She kept saying this to other people, when I finally pointed out that I am really the person who needs to know.

I'm pretty firm on "Down to the River to Pray," and possibly "Amazing Grace," but not much else.

That's such a sad, story. Terrible for the wife.

I have already decided I don't want any memorial.

One reason my body goes to science is to avoid memorial services. Y'all are free to have a virtual wake.

If I had to pick music, it would be "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?"

Of course we will have a virtual wake!

And today I'm thinking "I'll Fly Away."

I had considered going to the concert last night, but didn't buy tickets since it was so close to post-surgery and I was afraid I'd fall asleep with my pain meds. Anyway, the selfish part of me is glad I didn't go. Even so, I keep picturing my friend and the chaos that must have happened. Much of the audience is made up of senior citizens and I'm kinda worried about some of their hearts. I just want to wrap Lisa up and make it better, but it is never that easy.

I have just decided on Bob Marley's Rastaman chant, pretty much because of the repeated lyric:

One bright morning when my work is over,
I will fly away home.

That'll do, pig, that'll do.

Since I didn't save the world a lot.

I have no objection to "Amazing Grace," but I'd like "Morning Has Broken" played at my service.

One bright morning when my work is over,
I will fly away home.

That's what I said! Lyrically.
