What a wonderful day we had Thursday, 22 May, 2008, celebrating the life of Willie Knox Tart.

As some of you know, Bubba, Kathy and and I met Paul White and Eddie Coats in Raleigh to go together. Kathy, Paul and myself ended up in the backseat of Peay's 2008 Camry, and Bubba drove with Coats riding shot gun. Needless to say, we three in the back seat were deprived of several things ... air conditioning and bathroom facilities. Any lady reading this can feel the pain. It was excruciating, to say the least.

One hundred "war" stories were told and we laughed so hard it brought tears to our eyes. I wish the day could have been recorded. Bubba was his dry, humorous self; and we continually battled each other, sarcastically, in the way we always do. Coats kept saying that it was a good thing Bubba and I were kin, or we would have each other killed. (How much do I love you, Bub, let me count the ways.)

A particular moment of jocularity was exiting for Randleman. A green sign on the side of the road read ~ High Point (on top) and Climax (underneath) ~ Bubba's quick tongue immediately spit out ... "Coats, we haven't experienced either one of those lately, have we?

Will end with that for the time being ...
More later ...
