It's hard to believe that it's been almost a year since the ashes blast-off for Hunter. Johnny was such a special friend to arrange all that for him and his family. I remember that night well here at the Zone. Thanks for setting this up Liz and DITHOT.

That was a fun night! I'm looking forward to another howl!

I won't be around to join in Sunday, but thought I'd share this seredipitous experience.
My sister and I went to see Lyle Lovett and his Large Band in Cohassett, Massachusetts this past Thursday night. It was a fantastic show in a great, intimate setting. Eighteen incredible musicians played and sang their hearts out, and Lyle tossed in some signature dry wit.
It was a true delight, capped off by the choice of music played through the band's sound system as we exited - Spirit in the Sky.
Coincidence? I think not.

I'm looking forward to it as well. I remember being stuck to the computer that night last year, I enjoyed every minute of it! It struck me as odd when I read the announcement... Has it been that long? Surely not! But indeed it has been almost a year since our sweet Johnny helped make a reality Hunter's last wish.
I plan to Howl much, much louder this year and toast Hunter with a coke. I might jazz it up and put it in a nice glass, if I see it fit.

Gonzo, the important thing is to have lots of ice.  Bohemian wrote: It was a true delight, capped off by the choice of music played through the band's sound system as we exited - Spirit in the Sky. Coincidence? I think not.
I think not. Sorry you can't join us.

You can't judge a book by its cover.
The only thing that matters is the ending. It's the most important part of the story.

Oh my. A whole year already? I'll try to stay up for the howl, but that's a little after my bedtime on a school-night!
