I gathered ash out of our woodburning oven in the living room. I was =
walking at good clip, eager to see what this is going to do, full speed =
against the wind. I remember a great story from a favorite Captain I =

he was a young officer, attending a burial at sea. The burial was to be =
of an urn of ashes, strewed at sea at the bequest of the deceased. The =
high ranking officer, in charge of strewing the ashes, did so very =
ceremoniously, against the wind. Young Bennell picked up his formally =
bowed head, looked at his ashened- faced (yes, pun intended) commanding =
officer,
and said "don't lick your lips".
