Right. Morning all. Welcome to 2012. Feels about the same as 2011. Got between 2-4" of the white stuff last night to mark the occasion.

Also, just noticed that the Tournament of Roses parade was being held on January SECOND. WTF is that all about?



Interestingly, the college sports forum I belong to was talking about this. Apparently, since the first time the Tournament of Roses Parade would have fallen on a Sunday (eighteen seventy something?) they have held it on January 2d so as not to disturb the churches along the route. I thought that it was due to the NFL not wanting to share Sunday with the bowl games but apparently that is not the case.

My serially disappointing boys of cow, men of moo let me down again last night. Ugh.

Sad news about Herwin too...

I too think this is sad news. As you say, he was always passionate. I will truly miss him. I will light the candle for him and have a Mass said for his intercession.

Men's Warehouse (and other tailors)= Chickenboy kryptonite. It's so easy to blow $500-$1,000 in one of those places.

I tend to steer clear of them there type of places. Fortunately I rarely have to wear a suit, but my wife LOVES to dress me up!

Status: offline 		My Brothers, with a heavy heart, I have to pass along more sad news this evening.  I received an email reply from Des' son this evening that he has lost his long battle with illness.  

Here is the email that his son, Basil, asked me to pass along:

Hello Mike,
I am Bruce (Des) Wallace's Son,
I am just tiding-up his affairs and correspondence.
I have the sad news that my Father passed away on the twenty eighth of November 2011, after a long Illness.
I am sorry to have to give you this news, and could you please also pass this news onto his other gaming friends
Basil Wallace. 

The only words that come to mind are that I've lost a friend.  It matters not that we never met in person.  Des will be missed.

I know several people who have lost their lives to cancer lately. I know that death is part of life but it is still very very sad.
