Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

When I Die, Please Don't Do This To Me


Why do some people publish an obituary photo of dear old dad wearing his breathing tube?  It's like a portrait from Vinnie Barbarino's Photography Studio:  Up Your Nose With a Rubber Hose!  Is that really the best you could do?

So please note this as part of my final instructions to whoever is in charge when I croak (this probably means you, Buster Jr.):

If you're going to run a picture of me in my obituary, make it a good one.  Or don't run one at all. 

Thank you very much.
