It was so kind of you to write out your whole, entire life history for us to use in The NY Times, The Post and the San Francisco Whatever.<br /><br />Have you considered some Sudafed? You've gotta get the stuff behind the counter...and you need your license, a blood sample and proof that you haven't eaten in the last 14 hours but it's the only way they'll give it to you. <br /><br />If I die tomorrow, my stone would have to say, "Here lies Kathryn. She took the Sudafed. It didn't work."<br /><br />You forgot to add to your life story that you regularly cracked people up that you've never even met.

I would miss you terribly if your expiration date has sincerely arrived. Cremation does sound very permanent, but I am claustrophobic, so burial is out of the question.
