so there's this place we hang out... maybe you've heard of it... the pub... you can have your own mug... it's $25 and here's what you get - half priced wings (for life), free dinner on your birthday (for life), special mugclub outings for ONLY mugclub members & most importantly - your very own mug... it is YOUR mug... you can decorate it any way you like... you can put ribbons on the handle (like mine)... you can put butterfly stickers on it (like aunt sue's)... it is YOUR mug...
well, last week, we lost one of our own... it happens... you hear about it all the time... you just don't think it will happen to someone you know...
289 went down in a blaze of glory... he was dropped by one of the bartenders at the pub... it was ruled an accident by the police and no charges have been filed...
tonight, we gathered to memorialize 289 and all he has done for our friend LAC... he was a good mug and always there for LAC when she needed him... the world has lost a great mug...
we'll miss you 289... hope you are enjoying mugclub heaven...
Our lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink.
Thy will be drunk,
(I will be drunk),
At home as in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillages,
As we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers.
For thine is the beer, The bitter and The lager.
Forever and ever,
Barmen
for a little while anyway...
i parked my truck and wandered about until i ended up in front of loyd... i know nothing about this young man except what is on his headstone... which, by the way, is not a smooth marble as it may look... it's actually very coarse... i sat there for a long while in the silence and stared at loyd's final resting place wondering if he was married, had any children, where he served and how he died... i wondered if he had any family that still came to visit him... i wrote him a thank you note and was on my way...
but not before i snapped a few more pics... i have to admit that i have never visited a cemetery before... but i plan on going back and meeting more vets... it was a beautiful and peaceful experience and one that i recommend to everyone...
