Hey Richard - pour me a good stiff drink please - I need it. So far it's been a crappy start to 2009.

And with drink in hand - I'd like to make a toast to Barney...

It's been a pleasure knowing you Barney Boy - I just wish you could have stayed around here longer. But there must be some great plans for you at RB that we don't know about, so Godspeed to you. Have a safe journey - there will be so many candles lit for you from all corners of the earth to light the way for you. Take a long deserved rest when you arrive at The Bridge, and then run and play and be healthy again. We'll all get together one day and have one heck of a party. Cheers!!!
