He had a boat but I don't remember him ever taking it out of his boathouse. But we did get to spend a lot of time on other boats and I look back on those days as magical. We share that. <br />We share a lot. Love to you.

I told her that first of all, it's probably not going to happen while I'm still alive but if it does, I AM NOT GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

These pix of Maggie made those memories pop in my brain the smell of the cold deep water in hot Idaho summers the buddabuddabudda of the boat’s motor the smell of diesel all of it signaling heaven. And his lake house! The green water when the boat was in its slip the lights that brought up the giant carp.
