All's Well That Ends Well
Before I start I want to extend my thanks and deepest gratitude to all of you who offered their condolences and well wishes to me on behalf of my friend. I truly appreciate your kind words and your uplifteing thoughts as it was no easy task to say good bye to a friend, let alone sing at his funeral.
Thank you one and all.

As for the song, it went off with out a hitch. I started to get a bit chocked up at the start but made it through. My good friend Kelly accompanied me and her brother, Chris, another good friend, played acoustic guitar. It turned out very nice. I was trying not to look at my friends widow and child, but I could still hear her sobbing. It was very sad and tough to see. Later, at the reception, she gave me a long hug and thanked me for singing. I told her it was an honor and a privilage and was thankful that she had asked me.
It's going to be a rough road ahead but, she'll manage. She's never at a shortage for help and support. As for my friend, he shall never be for want or need. He is home now. Our loss, is heaven's gain. Adieu, old friend.

In an unfortunate event, no new truck for the Grifter. It just wasn't in the cards for me. I owed way too much on my current truck to get out of it.
Alas, it was not meant to be. Now I'll have to research ways to economize the Bahemoth and eek every last drop of gas out of it between fill ups.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my truck. I'm just tired of getting kicked in the grapes everytime I go to the gas station, as most of you are as well. (well, those who have grapes to kick)
So, press on, shall I, to seek better ways to kick the Man back and render his policies and ideals sterile while I hold contempt for the czars of ill-will.

Oh, and when I said my BG involved Grifter's "toes to the nose", that means he'll be surfing. I thought it apropos for the summer. I'll resume my current theme, Grifter and Zealot, after that.

Thanks again to all my dearest friends here in Otakuville. You truly are Kings and Queens of valuable friendships.
Until next time, caio!
