My friend (the one who died in my arms in a helicopter over a volcano this past July) had a cell phone, a laptop, and a kindle back at the resort. I was able to crack the code on the cell phone and the laptop, but the kindle was locked up tighter than the nuclear football.

I shipped all her clothes and stuff back to her next of kin. The cell and laptop can probably be reused, but the kindle is destined to be an excellent door stop.

Dancing Together

To play a song together, that lasts for all your life,
It helps that you can be good friends, although she is your wife.
They played this at our wedding. It was a merry tune.
And we’ve been dancing ever since, a lifelong honeymoon.

The music’s got some age on it. It’s slightly out of style,
We’ve added grace notes through the years, in keeping with a smile.
We danced the dance together. We walked together too.
I’d not have stayed so long to dance, except to dance with you.

The time has gone so swiftly, I guess we had our fun,
I know we’ll stay together, even when the dancing’s done.
So save the last dance for me. We know the music well,
And give a kiss at music’s end, this party has been swell.
