Is anyone drinking at this moment?

If you are, could you please toast my friend who died? Died of the same thing Ted did..brain cancer.

"To Edwin"

A city attorney in a bright red county in Texas.

He fought the good fight for the downtrodden all his life.

I am not much of a pray-er but said a prayer to him and asked him - "If they put you in the Politics department in heaven, could you please get Perry thrown in the slammer?"

small barrel batches and CNN put it up to a test against the best and it beat out Grey Goose and other top brands. It is filtered a lot and is so totally smooth - like water. thus, the problem

Sorry. I finished my beer before I saw this, so seltzer it is.

Rest in peace, Edwin. Hope you run into Molly and Ann in the Afterworld.

of the eulogists said that Edwin let out a gasp just before he died and they said it was because he saw his son.

I am not into all this heaven stuff but I like the way you call it afterworld and I am hoping there is such a thing and that he really did see his son.

...much he (most likely) meant to a lot of people and is obviously very important to a certain poster who wants him to be remembered.
It's a kind, caring thing you do...
