We laid Blinky to rest on Saturday. The service was nice, but short.
Besides Lee's daughter Sara, his ex-wife Dee and her brother, a couple
of older online friends were there, as well as a surprise guest of one
of the AFC-A fellows. Sara read a short poem and then said a few words,
and then there was some general discussion. Then we went to the grave
site and watched as the box containing Blinky's ashes was placed in the
ground.
After the cemetery, the online friends and I went to celebrate Blinky's
life over beer, pizza and darts. He did love to shoot darts, and was
pretty good at it most days. I believe he would have approved.
Bye, you big friggin' doof. I miss you a hundred times a day.
