For a minute........
I thought Fr. Jim Tucker had given me a link to a final, if hopefully far off, career option. An enterprising Illinoisian is ‘sending’ messages to the departed via messengers who will memorize them and deliver them upon their arrival wherever.
I have a certain talent for memorization and the $10 a word looks inviting. (I’d even throw in a gratis Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, Gettysburg Address or a varied selection of Beatles tunes if requested) Then I get to the details. The agent gets the $10 a word. The messages are delivered by a “volunteer.” Well, that’s a rip-off. (OK, it would be a rip off if the ‘messengers’ got the money, too!)
