I can’t imagine the sheer amount of time dude put in.

“Wintery Mix” was in the forecast for last night.  Don’t think it happened, but still…

I dated her daughter.  That seems like an odd way to start a relationship, but it was the way ours did.  I dated her daughter when we were young and stupid and when we broke up, the way young and stupid people do, she never went away.  She loved me, I was “Her George” and that her daughter and I were no longer an item didn’t change that.  She was always there, when I needed someone to talk to, when I needed some motherly advice, when I was being stupid, she was there.  Even though she always hoped that her daughter and I would stop being young and stupid (up until her last days she would introduce me to people as “The man I wish had/should have been my son in law), she was delighted by my choice after meeting my wife to be and congratulated me the loudest when I got engaged and when I got married.

She was my biggest fan and had she not died 13 days ago, today would have been her 57th birthday.  The world’s a worse place without her, but I’m a much better person for having had her in my life for the past 12 years.

I love you Ms. Stroud.  I’ll see you later.

Supposedly Terry will be doing a demo at the Red Bull Soapbox Derby tomorrow at Piedmont Park. Of course, if the weather holds it’l be the Red Bull Submarine Derby and he’ll have to do his demo in Scuba Gear.
