Today, I am sitting at a funeral.  My oldest friend’s dad died on Sunday.

Mark had an amazing ability to make anyone feel like family, from the moment he met them.    The day I introduced him to my wife, he taught her to throw a tomahawk, and she still talks about it, 10 years later.

I don’t have a post in me today.
