A Toast
To the dawn of the new season
and the awakening of the soul
To the idea that the little things matter
To those we miss
To family
To friends who don’t waver, and to whom we never will
To those serving our country, without politics
To my grandfather who wasn’t afraid to whack me with his cane when the occasion warranted it
To passion
To the perfect pairing of food and spirit
To another day in the books
and the possibilities for tomorrow
To random questions and unorthodox answers
To the echo of the strings as sweet music is created
To open doors and the hopeful knock of the bold
To a well crafted pint
To all that we have to offer one another
I salute you.
Sláinte!
Nobody did cool like Steve McQueen
