About noon the calls started coming and are still coming. I live in a small town so this is just too creepy. A man with MY full name was killed in a head-on crash along with two of his kids aged 4 and 8 about ten miles from my house. I have my 4 year old grand son here for the weekend and his sister age 8. Most folk called assuming we had all three been killed.I watched the ten o'clock news with Nancy and the grand kids as they told of my demise along with my kids. That was WAY far from zesty. The kids were very wide-eyed and shocked. The real guy that was killed moved to my home town about 10 years ago and I have been getting his calls and mail ever since. I have even had some deliveries sent to him by mistake and he would not return them. In my town, everybody with my last name is related and that is the way it has been for 100 years. This guy is no realitive so most people just assume it is me! I feel very bad for him and his family. It has been one very strange day trying to explain to people that I am not really dead. I messed with a friend about a half hour ago and answered the phone in a spooky voice with "This is Dave speaking from the grave, this is a LONG distance call." He was not amused. I hate to think what kind of calls will come in tomorrow and the next day. I will have to call all my customers on Monday to assure them that I am still in business. Soooo, if you hear I am dead, just send cash or checks to "The DC detecting trips fund" or just send cash to Nancy, she will know what flight to Virginia to book in my honor.
Happy Haunting. The not so late DC
