Yes, we were able to put some fun back into our holiday despite the loss we experienced on Christmas Day. You would have had to have known Joe in order to understand some of the unusual behaviors we exhibited over the years. All too often we realize way too late in our lives how short the living part of it really is. The ingredients to life are many, finding your personal recipe is paramount to your success within it. No one said it was meant to be an easy road.

Kevin,
Glad you had a wee bit of fun, and I am sure your friend appreciates it. One of you New Year's resolutions is more laughter, and I am cunting on you as one of my Floridian outposts of laughter. We wish you all the best of everything, and pass on our favorite South Anerican toast, Salut to amor e pesetas e la tiempo par la gustarlo, pardon any spelling errors in Spanish, and the translation is, Salute to love and money and the time to enjoy it...A

Alexandra, an "Outpost of Laughter" is an appropriate title for me. I shan't be bogged down with the tedium of life for there is much living to do and a limit of time which has been dealt. Tonight I shall raise my Reisling and toast to you and Ron, the successes yet to come in 2011.

Kevin, Again, I am sorry to hear of the loss of Joe. He must be dearly missed. It's never easy to lose a loved one. I think it's a reality check for those of us left behind, that life is short so handle it with care. I am glad that you were able to have some fun on Christmas. Here's to a wonderful New Year to you and your family.
Love the new profile picture!

Sandy, you know what makes it so much easier is family and friends like you. It was your inspiration to change out that old pic, yours are telling us about what's important. Glad to see I have 1 "like" regarding that gray beard so far.

Josh, after all the reminiscing of late we've realized that Joe may have outlived his daredevil life and are consoled by the thought he has no bounds to limit that now. Thank you!

2011 is coming on strong Tagrid. Any age is too young to lose a loved one especially if they've got plenty of living left in them. I've found that the number of years has nothing to do with that.

The reason laughter works so well for me is that I've realized for a very, very long time now that our lives are just too darn short. Muddling through with negativity is not my idea of living Shannon.

Definitely not an easy road! I have a work hard play hard attitude because life is simply too short.

Renee, somehow I could sense that that would be your modus operandi. The Easy Road, I've traveled there before, it's quite nice and hope to find it again!

Kevin, Thanks for the kind words. They are greatly appreciated. I hope that the year is going beautifully for you so far! Somehow, I sense that it is! We all learn to roll with the changes. I heard someone say just yesterday, 'Don't ever look back! There's no point in it!' And, as for the gray beard, we're not getting any younger. It makes you look distinguished!

You are welcome Sandy. It's not so much a roll as a "bob and weave' going on. I tend to look back now and then to know where I came from. When the beard was black friends called me Saddam Hussein and at that time it definitely wasn't a good thing. There again I rolled with it and survived much better than the real Saddam. Distinguished eh? I should go hat shopping with you and the girls to complete the mirage.

Good morning Kevin, Not rolling with the changes, huh? I suppose bobbing and weaving will have to suffice in this crazy real estate market we are experiencing. I agree, that occasionally we have to establish some sort of a reference point in our past, to see that our future is on the right course. But, what's done is done, and we should move forward without regrets. Oh... Saddam, yes, now I see the resembalance - probably not a good thing. Point well taken, you are still here, and he is not. I think a hat with the gray beard would work nicely. It's off hat shopping we go!

No regrets here, except for maybe some of the gray. BTW, I believe I've found my hat Sandy. Now to get a picture of me wearing it.
