This was the day he passed away. Poor attention to detail on my part this time.

Happy Death Day, Ben!!!

I do shit like that all the time. My eyes don't work well, anymore, so sometimes words disappear. A few minutes ago, I couldn't figure out why people would go surfing after they got laid. Usually, folks just have a smoke and a nap...or another round. If you have enough energy to surf, you're doing it wrong.
