I just read that today is National Friendship Day. How is it that I was unaware until 8 pm and why is it that am we are not celebrating!!!!!! Pretend for a moment that I'm not laying on a hospital cot in my Grammys room- which I am thankful for by the way- and that we are listening to a good band, having good conversation, and drinking good beer. Now pause, raise your glass (cause of course good beer is only on tap) and cheers!!!! Here is to us! Thanks for being you! Thanks for loving me!!!
And while We are on the subject- here are some great memories shared by some really amazing people. Enjoy!!!
