Dave Has Passed

At 11:32 AM, I received the news - via text message - that Dave Hotstream had passed.

Dave was only 38 years old - or 39, I can't remember which - and thus not at what some would consider an appropriate age for passing. Or maybe it was just the right and fitting time for him. Or maybe he was a late bloomer.

I believe he is finally in a better place.

I'm sure his friends plan to raise a few brews for him this evening at the Latrine. I sincerely hope to be among that number.

Hail, Dave. Godspeed on your journey.

Did I mention he passed his finals and will graduate nursing school?

Now we can all get good and stinking sick!
