We're So Sorry, Raymond Carver

Ok, so I've never actually transferred the contents of my photo card to my computer--until today. Here's one of the gems I found lurking there. This is a short clip of me and Virgil Suarez in Port Angeles, WA, at the grave site of the short story writer, Raymond Carver. There are two strange things to note: (1) the image of both Ray Carver and his wife, Tess Gallagher, are on the memorial, though Tess is still alive and well. And (2) as a tribute to Ray, Virgil brought him a Cuban cigar, which he left at his grave until we reminded him that Ray died of lung cancer. I belive this clip is mid-cigar, while it was still on the grave. You can see it there, briefly.

Click play TWICE. Really, TWICE. Be Patient. Give it a full minute to load.
