I've been here a few years. Its time I did this

My first OP just to give a link. As far as I can remember.

On the one hand, I find the idea of fashion absolutely baffling. On the other, good for any 95 year old that manages to stay up late every night, and goes out doing what they enjoy.

Where you headed, Tom? "Goin' to the boat!" He'd always come back and show me the roll of bills he'd won. Mother's Day? "Goin' to the boat."

He passed away at the slot machine. A good, good man. RIP, Tom. I miss you!
