A moment of tribute next week.

Danny asked me to post these, I'm sure he'll be along to tell the story soon.
 
thanks Mike.
No big story, I went and sent actual smoke for Bill from a shrine near my house.
In the last pic you can actually see the smoke, but this pic is a little dark.
You'll have to use your imaginations...

Too bad Ben Arown Awhile was banned, hadn't he known Uncle Bill for like over 30 years??? Bet he could do a good rememberance.

I liked Ben, crustiness and all. Don't think I was reading the ultimate nastiness, though.
 
I have the good fortune to be off on Monday, so I'll be here at 6:00PM Central.

I went here .

Seemed appropriate. I got to walk west myself, into white clouds tinged with pink and orange. Hope Bill and Rusty had as nice a stroll, side by side, into the setting sun, and a new day beyond that. A tear and a smile to speed you both on the way.

:cool:
 
I went outside, looked west and burned my favorite incense. There was a light breeze, and when I started to meditate (per the recommendation in a previous thread on Buddhist practice after a loved one dies) the sun suddenly came out with a warmth and brilliance I haven't felt since last summer. That exact moment. It was really moving and I can't explain it. I hope it was because Bill noticed.

Went outside, shook my fist at the gods, and bitched at Rusty for screwing up our arrangement to shoot the barrels out of a couple of .22s. :grumpy:
 
I had never lit a whole package of incense at once before...

Stuck it in the ground and it opened up like a bouquet of flowers.

It was for Bill and Rusty. Still, I felt guilty- I have remembered the Martino family many times, but never before for Rusty. I just never knew he had health issues.

The sun set, but it wasn't quite right. Something was missing.

Maybe that was the point.
