This is a strange and difficult day for most of us. For those of you who don't know Brue, or haven't heard of the news, our friend Brue drowned in the Sacramento river last night while he was out fishing. I don't know the details, but from what I hear the weather was pretty bad and he was out by himself.

I spent this whole weekend watching sports, and gripping when my $20 bets looked like they weren't going to come through....and I think the other day I noticed that life was going pretty smoothly and nothing bad has happened in a while. I hadn't talked to Brue in maybe a year, and that just seems to leave me with even more of an empty feeling....like what the fuck am I doing out here in Texas when all my good friends are back on the West Coast.

Brue was an awesome friend... a classic guy to hang out with, and was one of the most sincere people I knew. I've definitely borrowed Brue's sense of humor for the last few years, which has contributed to me enjoying life more, and laughing my ass off at things I never would have.

Feel free to share your thoughts in the guestbook below. I'm sure I'll be seeing all of you guys soon.
