Wow . . . what a read.

One of my best friends has a month if he's lucky. 7th year fighting Cancer. I'm devestated. This line from PJ's story fits Howard to a tee Sway;

I like old PJ. He makes me laugh and he's a good read. Like most right wing dills he has it all messed up but hey, you can't have everything can you.
