GODDAMMITALLTOHELL!

I'm goddamn tired of burying friends.

I just got word that one of my best friends -- my best man so many years ago -- died suddenly Tuesday.

We hadn't spoken in a few years, working and raising families we just fell out of touch.

He was an avid hunter, my fishing buddy, a gun nut who loved music and drinking. Especially together. He was one of the few who could outdo me with the Wild Turkey. I tried many nights.

He was also a Marine, a Vietnam Vet who would rarely talk about it.

Semper Fi, Randy.
