Every year until just before he passed away, my father would call or send a postcard:
Eschew Communism!
Beware the Ideas of Marx!
So every year I pour a dram of Bushmill's and toast him:
Here's to the old man.

Here's to you, Mr. R. Ted, I think you must have been very lucky to have had him as your father.

*sigh* And he was very lucky to have you as a son. I like to see this post every year, TED. It's such a lovely tribute.
One of these days, you should tell us more about your dad. I beleive nobody ever leaves that is remembered.

Your father had the good Irish luck to inherit some of your more endearing traits, Ted.
I like him.
Anyone who bewares the ideas of Marx is a friend of mine.
I set down an empty glass (or two) in your late father's honor.

THanks, TEd. I've gotten to the point where I need to see this once a year.
(what's 17.5% on top of a dram?)
