Those are the fun ones. Sometimes its better that way. Its when they are the "Last to show, first to go and first to complain" that you want to smack em hard.

I suspect a rather large turnout on Friday for the funeral. Big family on his side. Lots of hugs and what nots. Be good closure.

BTW, pretty cool that you signed his Guest book.
So far, everyone has been well behaved, we'll see if that continues. More than happy to sign the guestbook Tim.

Haven't enough liberals fled the United States to fill in all those menial jobs by now? Wait until after 20 Jan then you should be awash in French Poetry professors.

I think the wall to stop us Snow Mexicans have stopped them as well. Plus, aren't they busy protesting instead of doing their paperwork to come up?

You can only be a fighter or a lover. Then theres Jack, who has mastered both.

Re-Evening Gents.
Just back from the hospital where Momsee went through the ER due to a leg ailment that flared up. Just had me Dad in a week ago for mild injury from a fall.
The handwriting is on the wall folks. In their early 80's, I'm seeing the decline progress. Both too damn stubborn (farm folk) to throttle back more....the decline will continue.
We had to drug my Grandfather 35 years ago when there were no other choice left but nursing home care and he never forgave his family. I'll be going down the same road eventually with my pops and it's not going to be pretty. If one ails, the other ends up sick or injured after playing nursemaid to the point of exhaustion. Happens every day in the world so we'll get through it but I can see the next 5 years plus will be challenging.
