I just wanted to add that I've enjoyed your posts immensely over the > last few years - but sadly I havn't. First let me say that this was a most touching post. My heartfelt thanks to you, good sir. Secondly, let me assure you that upon your demise (which will assuredly occur before mine), I will dig up a coffee can or two and buy a round trip flight to NZ for the sole purpose of attending your last rites. Then, after all have departed the grave site, I will express my complete admiration for you by urinating upon yer headstone. This will be a lasting memorial to you as it will cause the grass to grow rich and green around your final resting place.
