My Dinner With Andre'

[Packo]

Ya know, gettin' together with ol' friends is one thing....with ol' Para's is another.

Dan's experience since getting re-introduced to James has done more than all the years of Booze, drugs, and rock and roll he and I have lived the last 23 years, and I thank God that James and I got together and got them together. This site has a gawdam lot to do with it! Thanks David and the crew!

We have had a marvelous weekend of continuous music, food, and fun. Deb's famous Southern Lasagna last night, Frogmore Stew and Tommy's Ribs tonight. All washed down with too many martini's and a few gallons of fine wine. (not to mention the coffee and Cognac I'm doin' now) Sallie, my other bestus' friend and Deb make the whole experience complete....they go to bed earlier, but damn do they make the day! I'll love both of those women till' the day I die.......they not only understand, they put up with our ramblin, gamblin, Airborne! speak and HEROICS! (THEY BOTH KNOW HOW WE FEEL....THE HERO'S ARE ON THE WALL BUT WE SWAGGER AND ACT BAD ANYWAY!) Actually I swagger cause' the hip ain't quite right yet and it just looks like a swagger....it's really a stumble. God bless these two most wonderful women.......Andy and Tom know for sure what I'm talkin' bout' and sure a bunch of you more know...Doc Fred for sure!

Boy, as I read back over this......hope you guys don't think I'm loaded or anything....but I am....so there!

I guess this post is about how I feel, not only about Dan, but about all of you..........DAMMM I FEEL CLOSE AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU....THANK YOU BAAAAABY! Like always, the weekends go fast...the weeks drag on, and Dan and Sallie are on the road tomorrow back to Winton-Salem, but what a pleasure and honor to be friends with the both of them, and guys and gals like ya'll....

Until tomorrow.....Yours in brother and sisterhood.....I remain..


The Pack Guy......thanks for the memories.

Packo every time I hear this song on my oldies station I think about you and Deb, Gimpy, Bits, LT, Frisco, Andy, Chris, Keith, MARINEVET and all the guys that have been blessed with the kinda of woman that stands the test of time. They still make them but women like these are gettin' harder and harder to find. You all were indeed very, very blessed. And very very smart to hang on to a good woman once you found her...

Still The One
~~~~~~~~~~
Orleans words and music by John Joseph Hall and Johanna D. Hall

We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never want to see you again
But I want you to know, after all these years
You're still the one I want whisperin' in my ear
You're still the one -- I want to talk to in bed
Still the one -- that turns my head
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

I looked at your face every day
But I never saw it 'til I went away
When winter came, I just wanted to go (wanted to go)
Deep in the desert, I longed for the snow
You're still the one -- that makes me laugh
Still the one -- that's my better half
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

You're still the one -- that makes me strong
Still the one -- I want to take along
We're still having fun, and you're still the one (yes you are)

Changing, our love is going gold
Even though we grow old, it grows new
You're still the one -- that I love to touch
Still the one -- and I can't get enough
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

You're still the one -- who can scratch my itch
Still the one -- and I wouldn't switch
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

You are still the one -- that makes me shout
Still the one -- that I dream about
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You're still the one, yeah still the one
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

Hey I think I saw those two guys in that last pic on a poster in the post office!
