We received a sympathy card today.
Apparently, I'm dead.
Who knew?

2. It was rumored a number of years ago that I was dead
I ran into one of my old friends at the Minnesota State Fair, and his jaw dropped, and he said, "Man, I had heard you passed away."

That was weird.

18. Oh yeah.
I can see how the rumor about me got started, since I did have cancer. I am a 20 year cancer survivor!

5. So what's it like on the other side?
Is it filled with virgins maidens? Or is it more like the DMV?

It looks uncannily like my house. So, no virgin maidens. The good news is there's beer!

10. I could understand that.
But it specifically mentions "loss." Maybe they think I just wandered off.

19. Cash gifts are acceptable.
Maybe just a little creepy. But I've always wanted to experience my own wake. That's gonna be a good party.

21. You should respond to that person a la Mark Twain....
Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated.

Happy to hear that you are all right, but that must have been one damned thing to read.

I always confirm that someone is dead before I send the card, ya know? Just in case they're still alive and all.

My ex did some work with them some time ago.
Maybe I should write back:

Thank you all for the kind words and thoughts.
