Mercator's Birthday ~ March 5:  Happy Birthday, Gerard Kremer (a.k.a., Mercator)! This is where your scientific innovations have led: to maps so ubiquitous we find them in cemeteries everywhere. Shall we call this world map the Billy Goat projection or the Donaldson Projection? Mountain View Cemetery. [2019]

In the Arms of Angels:  Two young souls are embraced by by two angels and backed up by an epitaph that serves as an epilogue, words (logos) spoken after or upon (epi) the end of a play. "So go and run free with the angels . . . So go and run free with the angels." Riverview Heights Cemetery. [2019]

Burial or Cremation?  If you are going to be buried, one possibility is to be buried underground. A memorial marker is not required, but if you choose to mark the interment, why not choose a marker that casts a shadow, rather than one that is flush with the ground? After all, shadows seem to be the handmaidens of death. Waitsburg Cemetery. [2019]
