And it's silver-colored, so that's next year taken care of too.....

There is no point to this post. I'm just really sad and I miss him.


Shared stories is the only immortality we have as individuals.

Don't need a point, it's just one of those thousands of thoughts and memories that come to mind, with damn few social situations where it's appropriate or comfortable to express them.
That's what this thread has been about from the start and will continue to be available for you to add and/or revue.

Not having a great time at the moment. Some nice friends, wonderful people posted this on facebook, and I just wanted to add "don't get cancer"

Jenny Smith and I are celebrating 24 years of marriage today. As I left for work this morning, we noted that there seemed to be a lot less to worry about back then. On the flip side, our life is much richer now in many ways. Of course, our kids are a big part of that equation -- some times we could do without some of the "richness" that they bring, but overall they are keepers and so is our marriage. I love this picture of Jen as she struck a yoga pose in Shanghai. It captures many qualities that I fell in love with and continue to love about her. We had dinner at The Filling Station tonight and shared our celebratory news with the young waiter. He asked about a secret to a long marriage and we said to be kind to each other and Jen added, "be vegan."
I am happy for them... but I'm so unhappy for me. I want my buddy back. I told him it was ok to go, but I lied.

No need to apologize. It’s a lovely story and worth sharing. Besides, telling personal stories is one of the great pleasures of life.

Ooof. Cry.

I love that he has been immortalized. I hope I can go see that sign one day. I hope one day I'll have mattered that much to someone.

I hope, one day after I'm gone, that someone realizes I meant that much to them, and they feel guilty as shit for the rest of their miserable lives.
