Mess with the best...

I feel like the blog is starting to run away from me, mostly because there are a lot of dumb everyday things going on I would like to share, but they all pale in comparison to the passing of a great man.

John's Grandpa Bob passed away yesterday morning after battling long and hard with a myriad of health issues. I don't feel like I can do his memory justice, as I knew him for such a relatively short time, but it's amazing to hear how many great memories are pouring out of people he touched in his lifetime.

I don't really have anything poignant to say at the moment, but I wanted to let you all know what was going on. This is one of my favorite pictures of Bob; he's wearing the hat I knitted for him for Christmas and striking his best boxing pose. Even though you can't see it, he's also rocking some seriously awesome bell bottoms. We posted this picture on the wall after it was taken and John entitled it: "Mess with the best, die like the rest"

So, cheers to one hell of a guy--he sure is with the best of 'em now.
