Some background: My boss and I are pretty close - we socialize outside of work and we know some of each others extended families - including his father in law. One of the things we do is play on-line RPGs and one of the guys we play with is a life-long friend of my bosses FIL.
This guy is pretty old and in poor health so online games are one of his outlets.
Now I have posted in the lounge about my father's day gifts from my daughter - she took me out for sushi and on the way home we stopped at the grocery store and she bought me a 12 pack of beer.
In all my beer drinking history I have never bought Yuengling Black and Tans. I've had gallons of regular Yuengling but never the Black And Tan. Old Timer was always talking about how much he loved YB&T - it's about the only thing he drinks (maybe another reason for his poor health) - we had many late night gaming sessions, each of us getting stupider as the night wore on but we were both safely in our homes so it was just all good fun.
It's been several months since we last played any games online though because he had been in poor health and I guess just not up to it.
So my daughter and I are in the beer aisle and for no reason other than I suddenly thought of Old Timer I decided to get the Black and Tans.
I get into work this morning and I found out that my boss wasn't in today because he's with his family - Old Timer had passed away.
Now i know I just saw the B&T on the shelf and thought of Old Timer but man, I bet I could pretty easily spin it the other way way around. Old Timer wants me to carry on the tradition of gaming on Black And Tans.
Here's to you, Old Timer. You were a good guy.
