I really liked this a lot, Candice. Any writing that keeps me smiling throughout is, for me, the best thing that can happen. I forgot it was you, that it was your penwomanship, very early on. That's a compliment to your engaging style and technical strength. Neat idea, too. Love footnote three: you're so right - the total tonnage of albums that I feel should have been celebrated rather than horribly overlooked could stun a team of oxen. I will return to your next piece, while undoubtedly catching up on your previous. Keep on keepin' on ol' girl.

Nicely done and enjoyable. I particularly like the idea of marking time with a minute timer of cremation ashes- or an hour glass if you really liked the deceased. Pour forth your words Candice!

Wow, Candice! Incredible. Creative, inventive, hilarious... I love your style! I had no idea you were such a talented writer. Wow. I recently found a new favorite author, but you've unseated him after his very short reign. And the footnotes... brilliant!

Darkly funny! The bucket list items had me in tears. The footnotes work and I have not figured out why. Congratulations.

I watched intently,

the rodeo clown tumbling through the air,

mockingly returning death's unbroken stare.
