Here’s to you Joe Valley. It’s been many years since our paths have crossed. In our youth we did the crazy things that youth do. We went our separate ways but from what I know we have lead parallel lives. I was saddened to hear about your passing last week. My thoughts are with you and your family. A drunk driver hit you from behind while you were on your motorcycle. I’m happy that you were doing something that you loved.

I have lived my life for the moment and this just reaffirms this. Go out spend time with your loved ones, buy that boat and learn to sail, take that trip, do that one thing you’ve always wanted to do. Here’s to you Joe Valley, happy sailing.
