Happy Friday, all…a short post for now.I have to pick up Ryno today from school and work tonight.
So this morning, I need to pack my bag for the funeral road trip to Cleveland.
Three of us are leaving from the Bagwine digs at 6 A.M. tomorrow to attend the funeral of our buddy Mark.
(Sherri, if you read this let me know if you want to go along!!)
While going to a funeral, especially one held in the Cleveland area is never pleasant, there is an upside to this.
From what I gather, many a person from High School who knew Mark will be there. Many of us will be staying in the same hotel.
Ergo, perhaps we will be holding one helluva wake for our buddy Saturday night complete with drunkenness, and naked bodies.
I don’t think Mark would want us to send him off to the great beyond in any other fashion.
Also today, John McCain is celebrating his 188th birthday. He will be speaking at noon or so today a mere twenty minutes from the Bagwine abode.
Will he announce that his VP is Romney? Or Pawlenty? Or, will he, as I predicted last week, select Rob Portman?
We shall see, and I shall have some words about his pick no matter who is selected.
Well, my friends, I have to get Schmoop delivered to work, hit the dry cleaners, and then come back and fill my suitcase and my cooler.
Have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend, and celebrate it in a manner worthy of its meaning…
Have a drunken cookout, shake the hand of a union worker, and kiss a crippled kid.
I’ll talk to you all as soon as I can.
Cheers!!

Give Mark a proper send-off and celebrate his life, in all of your drunken wonder!
And please be careful on your travels - especially in Cleveland *wink*
Dana: We will indeed do just that. And perhaps, Cleveland, should be careful of me. ; ) Cheers Hot Stuff!!
Have a safe trip. I think we should all drink one for Mark tonight.
a toast, to a dear departed friend. My thoughts are with you and your drunken comrades who will have heavy heads and hearts on the morrow.
*hugs*

Be Safe Matt. I am sure Cleveland will never be the same after you leave it! ;-)
And sending a prayer for Mark.
Kimmie: I will be safe, but for the prayer? I think he was an atheist. Cheers!!
Safe trip matt-man!
don't forget to pack your rubbers
when it's my time I want a big ass no holds barred inappropriate as all hell send off so I imagine any friend of yours would want the same.
Dianne: Thanks and I totally agree with your idea of a totally blasphemous send-off. Rubbers packed!! Cheers Di!!
I am leaving express instructions for my wake. I want booze and bitches and people having a good time.
Starr: I'd go but I 'm pretty sure you will out live me. Cheers!!
Damn I best get drinking and catch up! Besides we have that weird date similarities thing kickin. Put it this way, if I croak you best be worried for a week or so and vice versa!
Starr: No doubt. On the bright side we'll get to see each other in Hell. Cheers!!
Evil: Why thank ya very much. Cheers!!
I'll keep good thoughts for you tomorrow...
I am sorry for you in the loss of your friend. I hope that you all travel safe.
Take Care.
