My Friend John

Tonight as we sat in our temporary office in the Incident Command buliding for the flood response, my friend John said something that caught me totally off-guard and sent me into a paroxysm of laughter.  I laughed harder tonight than ever before.  I laughed until there were tears in my eyes and I couldn't breathe. 

My friend John believes that William Shatner is God's gift to a fallen world, but I can forgive him this relatively minor heresy.

John and I can trade obscure movie quotes, but he usually wins.

I wish I could be half the man that John is... though I am almost literally, half the man he is.

This song is also for my friend John.
