Tribute

[zrath]

I was wearing this today, and I will probably wear it for a few more days.
This is Pascal's Burning Man necklace.
It won't go over my huge Kzinti head, so I wear it as a bracelet instead.

I've spent most of the day on the phone, talking to just about everybody.
Tonight, I went to Bloom to have dinner with Jean-Louis and talk about the memorial service.
Nico called during the conversation and participated in the planning.
So we're looking at Saturday March 22nd at 11am in Malibu, near the ocean.
There is a friend who has a large protected area overlooking the ocean, near the Moonshadows restaurant.
And another friend owns a boat. Jean-Louis and Nico will supply the sound system.
This will be an ocean-facing service with music and sunshine.
At the close of the service, the boat will head out and spread the ashes at sea.
There are many details to work out, such as the size of the boat this friend owns and who will go on it.
We've got two weeks to figure it out.
More details will be forthcoming.

That's so beautiful, and loving. (So like you.)

I like this plan. I think that's the kind of memorial I'd prefer.

That sounds like as good a way to be bid farewell as I can think of. What better way to remember and celebrate him than in music?

If it would be all right, I would like to attend. I never knew your brother, but he was the loved one of a dear friend and that is enough.

If acceptable, please email anything I'll need to know.

I would be delighted to see you and give you crash space for your visit.
I haven't seen you in a quite a while.
If only it had been under better circumstances.
I will e-mail you shortly.

I may not be able to be there in person, but I will be in heart. It's good that you are wearing that pendant, too. It's something you should keep close to your heart. Even though it doesn't fit, I put things like that on the tassles of my medicine bag.
Sounds like it's going to be just the right service. One thing a lot of American Indian tribes do is leave a seat empty for the departed. Go out to dinner some time and have a seat for your bro sort of thing.
