I was out last week...

Mike clearly I’m behind the curve with recent news so allow me to say now that I’m sorry for your loss. I’m quite envious of the relationship you had with your father since mine is an asshole. We live 10 minutes apart and I’m now on my 6th month of not speaking to him (could be longer actually) and I’ve got no plans to end the streak anytime soon. This is nowhere near the longest stretch, either. We went for over 5 years the last time. Suffice it to say, he and I don’t see eye to eye. Never have.

Thanks, Keith...last year or so has been rough anyway...Alzheimers was kicking in real good....most of the time he had no idea who I was.
