Yesterday was the most emotionally draining day I&#39;ve had in a long time but Uncle Mick sure went out in style.   Uncle Mick was an Irishman through and through  so there was a Piper at the Church both before and after the ceremony.    A retired NYPD Sargeant, the NYPD served as Pall Bearers and provided a police escort to the Cemetary with lights and sirens blaring.  Then at the cemetary we had a 30 minute wait (thankfully in our cars with the heaters going) because the Marine Corps honor guard got lost and although the Priest wanted to get this done and over Aunt Annie said they were not burying him til the Marines showed up with the bugler.   Uncle Mick had been a drill Instructor in Parris Island for a few years.    Both high schools he taught PE in after his retirement  from NYPD sent representatives of their basketball teams in their letter sweaters and priests from both the schools he taught at were on the altar along with their parish priests.  Quite a show and I don&#39;t think Aunt Annie or his sons missed anything.    <br /><br />Shari - glad to hear that Marc is back home after his trip.<br /><br />Cheryl - Sorry you didn&#39;t get to see Scotty.    I hope your son straightens out his ex.   <br /><br />Jackie - it sounds like little Luc is doing very well.    2 pounds is a great start.   He must be so cute now.   Is Candice getting any more sleep or is he still confused between night and day.<br /><br />Joey - welcome Home to David.    I think you have everyone here set to run out and buy hot dogs.   Sounds like a good idea to me.    <br /><br />Steve - sorry you had a rough day yesterday - hope today will be better.<br /><br />Ed - glad Roe is back in Cal.     Isn&#39;t this week 3 for her - that means she&#39;s 1/3 way thru all this if I&#39;m not mistaken.<br /><br />James - good luck with the offer on the house.<br /><br />Jim - thanks for the coffee to get us going in the AM.<br /><br />Falina - Hope you get some good news on your truck and get them back on the road ASAP<br /><br />Deb - I hope the meds help and you get some relief soon.  That vertigo is just plain awful.<br /><br />Sue - hope you had fun with your friends.<br /><br />Jenn - how did the sleep study go?   Is there a CPAP machine in your future?    How is Mom doing?<br /><br />Rose - rest of those hands and arms.   You&#39;re getting into the busy season for you and need to be feeling 100%.<br /><br />Martha - glad the snow didn&#39;t amount to too much.     How&#39;s the flu season doing?   I&#39;m sure it&#39;s keeping you busy.<br /><br />Andrea - I forgot to ask but how did Crazie like the kids program on Carnival.    Looking forward to some pictures.<br /><br />Kevin - enjoy the warm weather while you can and send some of it on to Pa.<br /><br />Keith &amp; Rita - happy to see you on the boards.   <br /><br />Shaunna - where are you girl?   Don&#39;t make us send out the Posse looking for you.<br /><br />Carmen - hope things are a bit quieter for your commute through DC.   <br /><br />Time to get moving and do a few things.    I&#39;ll be back later on.   In the meantime, make today special<br /><br />
