My friend, Jami, has teased me for years about the nicknames that people in this small town have.  There's DoughBoy, Snake, Big Dummy, Lil' Dummy, Popeye, Hamfat, and they go on and on.  And of course, there are the perfectly ordinary names like the ones in my family . . . Bodie, Rocky, Corky, Puggy.
Well, evidently those nicknames follow us to the end . . . here's the board in the window of our funeral home tonight.
