"It Is Now Post Time."
We're Off. "JIMBO DAY." Army Navy game,and ever since Jimbo passed away his son Jamie and his wife Nancy invite all the guys up to watch the game together, I really love it.. We watched Jimbos last Army Navy game at Jamies house, Jim was really sick that year and passed away a few weeks after the game. (R.I.P.) cousin,love you my man.. It is a wonderful thing that they do for all us old ones, getting us together to watch the game, shoot pool, bust each others stones as usual, have some fine food and a few cool beverages..Now the bad part, I am going to miss it. Yep, have been, how do you say under the weather for the past week, and I don't feel it would be right to go to the house with the children there. I do not want to be responsible for getting any wee ones sick at this time of year.. I will make a point later on just to stop by and wish Jamie and Nancy and their children a Merry Christmas..Makes this old Simpleton feel bad, sure would like to be there. I am sure Plain will be leading the band and marching around that pool table, calling shots that Willie Mosconi wouldn't even dream of calling, and please don't let him make one, he just acts like that 4 corner bank he made was easy..Sure wish I was going..
Little known fact, it was a year ago today, when we were all coming back from Jamie's house after Jimbo Day. The line up went like this. Tommy was driving, Dave was shotgun, I was in the back behind Dave and Monk was behind Tommy, when lo and behold don't I get a text message from one Jim McFinn asking me when did we lose Monk?? Now mind you I have had a few cool beverages, but I still see Monk sitting next to me.. I say, yo guys I just got a message from Jim McCool asking when we lost DRUM ROLL EASY...............................................Monk.. Monk looks at me like what does he mean lost me.. I say I guess he thinks you bought it.. Monk says bought what?? I guess the dirt nap Monk, I think he thinks your, you know departed. This is nuts. I gotta text him back. I text and tell McFinn that Monk happens to be sitting next to me right now.. McFinn says when did we lose you?? WE ARE IN THE BACK OF TOMMYS JEEP WE ARE BOTH STILL HERE YOU FUCKING LOON!!! Oh we didn't lose Monk? No we didn't lose Monk thank God..Dave says Floyd pull over here and we'll throw Monk out and tell McCool we just lost him..LOL!! When we pulled up to Manayunk and Rector Monk lives a few doors down he says drop me off here I'll walk down.. No fuckin way dude we might lose you, we dropped him off in front of his house...LOL!!!! Hey to all my friends enjoy JIMBO DAY, and Stay Out Of Harms Way. Hope to see you all next week....Wish I was going with you.. Too: Jamie and Nancy thanks for the invite as always, love you kids...Uncle E.
