Last Wishes

Well. . . although there are a few folks who know what my thoughts are on the matter I decided that I would set it down just so that everyone out there knows; just in case ('cause I don't want there to be any mistakes). If I am in an accident and have to be hooked up to any kind of life support, keep that sucker running (and I don't care how long you have to leave me hooked up that way). I don't care if you have to hook me up to a car battery. 'Cause I can guarantee you that wherever I am at I am trying to get back. There's still too much I haven't done. Plus. . . I like living, I mean that's the whole point of being alive, not dying. So leave my switches and plugs alone. There, that should be sufficient for the courts.

Ok. having said that when I do die I would like the following (and I assure you all I am being quite serious). I would like to be buried in a cemetery that is open after dark (if possible, if not then as late as you can manage it). On my headstone in the largest pitch I want the words "Old Man Griffin" engraved, no matter how young I was when I passed away. Beneath it, you can list my stats in a smaller pitch. On the grave itself I would like a stone cauldron mounted, about chest level (with a stone lid to keep out the leaves, and a metal tube mounted beside it for an umbrella, for inclement weather). Once a year, on Halloween, I would like for a relative to fill the cauldron with candy (use the really good stuff too) in early afternoon and leave the lid off for that evening and night (don't forget the umbrella if the forecast says it'll rain). The next day if there is any candy left (which I doubt) then please have a relative take it home (enjoy) so that it won't mess up the cauldron, and then replace the lid. My only regret in the matter is that I won't be there to see little kids daring one another to go and take some candy from Old Man Griffin's grave after nightfall. Man I love Halloween!

These are my wishes, please fulfill them if possible.
