Happy Daddy’s Day.

Today I found out that Jody Herro passed away on May 25th. Jody was the husband of Jan, one of my mom’s cancer patients. Together, Jan and Jody ran Jan & Jody’s Treasures, an antique shop in Corpus Christi, Texas.

On hearing that my friend Nick, whom I’m buying steer horns for, foolishly asked me to bubblewrap them and take them on the plane home as a piece of carry-on/carrion luggage.
