The 500th JaxPsychoGeo story. About time. About how my dreams after my father’s death differ from the dreams I had when my mother died. About why I started this bizarre website.

I’ll never forget the sight of my father, 90 years old, trying to lasso a goat. He wouldn’t have minded the Golden Corral in the midst of the cemetery, but I doubt he could eat “the Whole Buffet!” Click below for the story. He’d have liked it.
