Obit for a Walkman

A moment of silence please. Today, Old Faithful bit the big one. That's right. Through diet after diet. Through countless miles on the treadmill. In rain, snow and numerous drops by a clumsy owner she survived. Today, time and one too many trips down the stairs finally took their toll.

*Snif*

Today my circa 1987/88 Sony Walkman died. Nothing could be done to save her. She lived a long life that included many trips to the beach, walks and runs around town and countless hours of tape playing to remind her owner of those wonderful days of her youth.

A funeral service will be held at 5 p.m. today. Burial will be in the green trash can. In lieu of flowers please send suggestions for a newer model.

*Isn't nice to see my skills ffrom job #2 are not going to waste?
