I know he was a bammer. But he brought a lot of attention to ALS. Its a terrible disease.

Passed away shortly before noon.

Say a prayer for his family.

Godspeed Kevin.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Weird, A guy I went to high school with passed away this morning. You really start seeing your own mortality when guys your age that you know start moving on.  This guy was a bammer too.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.'

Hate that for anyone.  I've known several people with ALS.  Two passed on fairly quick.  The other has been battling the hell out of it for the better part of a decade.  As soon as he found out, he stayed in the gym daily, doing if nothing else, riding the stationary bike.  Last time I saw him, he was confined to one of those little scooter thingies.  As bad as this sounds, I almost wanted to avoid him the last few times I saw him because one of the last things that disease robs is your speech.  He wants to talk to you but can barely form the words. 

Anyway, horrible disease.  Sorry about the loss, CCT.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."
