The Year Passes

Early this morning, Jody & Terry's dad passed away. He'd had numerous small strokes since mid-November. Everyone in their side of the family did get the opportunity to say good-bye. He had told the nurses he wanted to live past Christmas so he wouldn't ruin the holiday for his great-grandkids, and he made it.

A toast, to one of the greatest Hell-raisers this side of the Mississippi. There really aren't many old dudes like Larry in this world.

Other than that, I wish everyone a safe and healthy New Year.
