The inscription in the copy of my book I left at the grave.


The instructions I left on my book.


Jack's grave during our visit. At bottom are the two books we read from - we didn't leave them there.


"So long, Jack."


A picture Crystal took using the "panorama" setting on my camera so she could get my truck (with DHRMABM license plate) and Jack's grave in one shot.


A guy at Ricardo's was impersonating Jack.


Me with Melissa, who won an autographed copy of The Beat Handbook by saying Rumplestiltskin (per my challenge in a previous post).
