The History of Funeratic (2025)

Southwest

May 2: Steve West reaches out to Scott, hoping to connect in person with a getaway in Florida. Scott agrees and makes arrangements for Steve and his wife Brenda to fly to Sarasota for five days of fun in the sun. After flying via their preferred Southwest Airlines, they arrive exhausted from a difficult trip but are soon ready to make the most of the trip. Highlights include pirate-themed miniature golf, feeding alligators, shopping at an Amish goods store, enjoying a Spanish meal in an elaborate dining room, and playing lots of board games and card games at the table of the AirBNB. Brenda and Steve reconnect with a person they knew independently of each other many years earlier, who joins the group for dinner one night. It's a tiring trip for all given the varying disabilities and energy levels, but together they make it a fun visit, and a chance to revisit some Funeratic memories in good conversation.
