    Happy B Day Ron!!!!

    Some free grammar tips:

    1) Always avoid alliteration
    2) A preposition is something you should not end a sentence with.
    3)Avoid cliches like the plague.(they're old hat).
    4)Comparisons are as bad as cliches.
    5)Parenthetical remarks( however relevant) are unnecessary.
    6)Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
    7) Be more or less specific.
    8)Don't be redundant, don't use more words than necessary, it's highly superfluous.
    9)The passive voice is to be avoided.
    10)Who needs rhetorical questions?

    You should also avoid adding expletives into the middle of words, its just abso-fucking-lutely ri-goddamned-diculous.

    Thanks guys & girls - it was Friday Feb 3rd. It actually wasn't too happy - my boss passed away very suddenly last weekend and his funeral was today (Friday). He was only 51 and a really great guy. I had originally asked him for today (Friday) off - which he had approved last week. I was going to visit Catalina Island all day, but attended his funeral / memorial in the morning, then quickly raced to Long Beach to catch the 2 PM boat - all dressed in black + a black suit coat. I played a quick round of golf, hit a bowling alley, ogled some girls, hiked around Avalon and up in the hills, listened to a guitarist in a bar, then hopped the boat back to the mainland.

    RIP Roger Stangl, you will be missed! Best boss I ever had.

    I see you corrected the "olf" lol. Almost called you on that but figured I should cut you some slack considering the post.
