A Multi-City Tour with Keri Bowers and Taylor Cross
October 30, 2006 - by Keri Bowers

Danny, Taylor and I had great travels together. Danny's ashes now reside in:

- Norfolk, Virginia -Near Pat Robertson's right wing college (we gave them a run for their souls).

- Chicago, IL. Danny's ashes are in an area soon to be paved over as part of the new airport.

- Little Rock, Arkansas - At the Peabody hotel next to the Clinton Library.

- Hot Springs, Arkansas - at the Arlington Hotel in a flower bed.

- Atlanta, Georgia - also at the airport

Danny will take many more trips with us, including an upcoming tour of Amsterdam. 'll be sure he goes to the red light district there (I always did want to get him a hooker, as you know).

MORE TRAVELS WITH DANNY...

In addition to the other cities were I deposited little pieces of Danny’s (human) soul remains, he's now added to following to his world tour itinerary:

This past week, Taylor and I attened a medical conference in Rotterdam Holland. While at the Rotterdam World Trade Center, I sprinkled Danny down a long imposing set of stairs to the entryway. Hollanders are rather stuffy, I felt as if Danny’s ashes lent a much-needed human touch to their reality. I really enjoyed this.

While in London, I had a funny experience. I decided that since I have sometimes forgotten to sprinkle him in a particular local, I'd sprinkle a few pieces in the "loo," as they call it. I figured he’d go down into the (literal) bowels of the sewage system - which was quite funny to me, and I know Danny would laugh about it too. I did remember to take him with me on a walk one day, past a site where they're doing some heavy underground work in the Kings Cross area (formerly a heavy pimp and ho area currently being gentrified).
I found a few huge holes in the ground going down about 15 feet for the underground work. I sprinkled him in one of them -- thinking of Mary Poppins for some reason -- and knew he’d stay there forever. They already dug the hole. They were soon about to fill it.

While in Charlotte, North Carolina, I sent him spraying about the airport – he’s now at a total of about 7 or 8 of them.

While in Las Vegas at the airport I did the funniest, if not unintentional thing. I sort of accidentally on purpose blew a bit of his ashes off a piece of paper. I had put him in all about the slot machines. I say unintentional, because truly, ashes look like kitty litter, and there he was on the carpet, floor and chairs of the area. It was especially funny to me because when I blew him off the paper I gasped. The chairs were red, and the carpet blue. His ashes stood out like a sore thumb, but there were no people in the area at the time. About 10 minutes later there were people playing slots, sitting on the very chairs he was occupying. One chair in the middle remained empty, and there he was sitting up there like a king. I guess the people on either side were now sitting with Danny on their pants. Little did they know they would be spreading him about their own homes as they traveled away to where they were ultimately going.

Another funny side note. You know how the airlines don't let you carry on any liquids, etc. if they are not sealed in a clear plastic bag? Well, I had Danny's ashes in the little bottle in my carry-on bag, and had apparently left a small travel tooth paste in the same compartment. I realized (with alarm) that to a customs agent, the mixture of an unusual substance that could be mistaken for a gun powder with toothpaste -- might look suspicious. I immediately threw the toothpaste out.
