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?

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.

34. A literacy group.

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

Thank you all for the kind words and thoughts.
