Thanks, all. I picked up his ashes today at the vet. The small, wooden container -- screwed shut but held in place with a rubber band -- was strangely heavy. Also disconcerting was a little sticker on the bottom reading "HANK DIETZ."
Dorvid, yes, let's get together. Please don't tell me that PFT has come and gone.
I'm living in Reston now (don't judge). Got a top-secret job and moving forward with the divorce ... things are much better with my wife now, no more hostilities, just a Legal Matter, baby. I'm so behind on listening to the Best Show because I got to the point where I didn't want to "waste it" when I was feeling so down. An odd thing, because when I was at my lowest, The Best Show was somewhat of a lifeline for me. Time to catch up.
