Mike graduated in 1983, two years behind me, but in the class I was supposed to be in had I not been pushed ahead. I remember he was always smiling. Always.
I understand he died peacefully in his sleep. Rest in peace, Mike. You will be missed.

Darren Michael Beasley
I lost another classmate on December 24th. It seems I'm attending more funerals than weddings these days.

Telestrations
Remember the telephone game? At the start of a line, one person whispers something into the next person's ear, and by the end of the line, you end up with something completely different? Well, this game is a lot like that. You start with something to draw. You pass your pad to the person on your left, who guesses what you drew. Then they pass the pad to the person on their left, who then draws what they guessed, and so on.
We played this game at my friend Nancy's house tonight after Christmas dinner, and I kid you not, I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. This game was worth every penny they paid for it, and I want to get it to play with my family at our next get-together. Great fun!

Delivery Man
After the movie, just to make sure they were good and wound up, I took them to Starbucks for some "heaven in a cup".

John Markarian (1929 - 2013)
John Markarian, an attorney I used to work for, passed away on December 14th. He was the first attorney I worked for who did estate work. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The math aspect of that job was wonderful. I got to help with tax returns, valuating bonds, mortgage per diems and payoffs, great fun!
From what I understand, he had cancer, and his family had been taking care of him around the clock toward the end. My heart goes out to them in their time of sorrow.
From the Buffalo News:
MARKARIAN - John December 14, 2013, husband of the late Maureen (nee Willett) and the former husband of Martha Markarian; loving father of Edward J. (Linda) and William C. Markarian; stepfather of Sean (Kristin) Willett; loving grandfather of William J., Kristin E., Isabella M., Olivia R. Markarian; stepgrandfather of Luke Brown, Ben, Cameron and Riley Willett; dear brother of Michael (Elizabeth), Charles (Delores) Markarian and Elizabeth (George) Binner; survived by many nieces and nephews.

Cookie Exchange
Ian made chocolate covered pretzels and I made salted nut truffles for the cookie exchange at work. It was fun!
