Some of you know, most of you don't. One of my best friends and mentor, Margaret Davis, passed away today. She had been battling cancer for so long that it is almost a relief that it is over. That may seem crass, and as a statement about life, it is. However, All I would ever want, for anyone I care about, is their comfort. Near the end, it was obvious that the comfort was no longer there, and cancer is just a fucking ass kicker!I loved and continue to love her, I love how she taught me how to be an employee. I love remembering the fights we used to get into at work. I loved that we would go play a short nine at Greenlake and she would win. I loved moving her furniture. I loved how she would explain that Dale Ellis was sexy, which would perplex me, and that it would perplex her when I explained the nuiances (sp?) of Dale's Jump shot and the purity therein.I love the people I met for knowing her. I love Walter Davis, I love Commander Davis, and I am especially blessed for getting to know Margaret's sister Karen and my left fielder Gerald. People like them, like their sister Margaret, make the world a much better place because of their spirits and what genuily exists in their hearts.I hope this email finds everyone well and picks up spirits when when spirits are hard to be picked up.Life is only tough when you've lossed something that you don't want to live without. I love you Margaret. R.I.P!Sincerely,
Jay Eliot Birkland
I love giving friends things to talk about by being the Casey appointed "King of the Night Before", a title I will always own and cherish.
I'm still really pissed that they cast Kevin Costner opposite Whitney Houston in the movie Bodyguard instead of Billy Dee Williams. Other than that, I'm a sipper and a macker. I'm a risk taker; I've been known to smoke in bed. The longest I've ever held a grudge is 7 days and counting. Comedy knows no boundaries.
