Just got off the phone with a few friends who live in Calgary. When I say friends, I don't mean casual acquaintances who give you a couch when you're in town, but real friends; the kind you call even before your mom, when you when you propose to your girlfriend, and the kind you want to speak to when she says no. The bhoys you want to talk to on Christmas morning, and the ones you miss on New Years eve.....those kinds of friends.
When I was fortunate enough to have a bachelor party a couple of years ago, my brother called me a rich man. I laughed initially, thinking that I was the only rich guy in town who couldn't pay his tab. Later he explained, that when he saw me with my 'best' friends, he knew my life would live like an Irish wedding band.....with friends I would never be lonely, with love I would never be poor, and with loyalty I would have both.....pretty rich luck for a relatively poor man.
So to my friends I raise an electronic pint,and wish you all Slainte!!
