The last few posts here remind me of an all-time great musician, who also died at a premature age -- Steve Goodman. He wrote a song about an older musician named Carl Martin. That song contained a line for the ages:
"From the cradle to the crypt is a mighty short trip, so you better get it while you can."

Believe it not but "Hunt...." was not the first movie I thought of with Joss. "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey" and "Mighty Ducks" were the first to come to mind. I know. I know.

The following was posted on the Chief Noc-A-Homa Facebook page on Friday: “The man, the legend and great warrior of my life has crossed over to paradise with full restored health. He is dancing in the sky and free of pain. To all his fans prayers for the family are appreciated at this tough time in our life. RiP Levi Walker aka Chief noc-a-homa! You lived life to educate and entertain and you have done well. Love you forever my Dad. You will always be my hero.â€Â
This one really sucks. Yeah, he’s an Auburn grad, but his books were pure fun, mindless reading about everything absurd and historical about Florida seen through the eyes of a lovable serial killer, Serge Storms, and his always inebriated sidekick Coleman. Reading the books I always pictured the guys from My Name Is Earl as these characters.

Oh, man. Read about this last night. I'm a huge Tim Dorsey fan. I started reading his books when I moved to Florida four years ago. Hilarious characters with some quirky history lessons thrown in. I got hooked immediately and tracked down and read all 26 of his books in hardcover, first edition format. Even have seven of them signed. Always look forward to the next Serge and Coleman misadventure. In fact, since the last several books have been released in January of February, I was wondering why I didn't see the next one listed as forthcoming in any online bookstore. Now I know. My daughter loves reading about Serge and Coleman too. She teared up when I told her last night. Sixty-two is way too young. Damn. 😥This one really sucks.
