Being a visual and verbal chronologue of my peculiar life, foremost my research interests—death and the anatomical body—and travels and people I've met in pursuit of same; my collecting interests—fossils, postmortem photographs, weird news, and new acquisitions to my “museum”; and (reluctantly) my health, having been diagnosed with MS in 1990.

Amy Wynn Pastor
A few years ago, I was a dedicated viewer of the TV show Trading Spaces, which I now catch when I can. My favorite carpenter was Amy Wynn Pastor. I went to a promotional event in nearby Arlington, Virginia, so I could meet her. I brought a copy of the book about the show for her to sign and I also gave her a copy of my Death Dictionary. When she saw what it was about, she told me she had always been a bit morbid herself! She had ancestors (or relatives) in Romania and told me Halloween had always been her favorite holiday. She accepted the book with thanks, and I came away with a complimentary Trading Spaces tape measure - and a fun story to tell.
She's a very hot carpenter. I love her a lot!
