But you know what – I don’t remember anybody, Joe Lauri, my old lady Denise or me ever drinking one! It would just remain there in their cooler and home it would go with them at the end of our visit. I wonder if it was the same cans of Zima that made the trip down from The Twisted Knot Workshop every time?

I think I mentioned before that I put a forever reminder in my calendar to remind me of him and know how long it had been. At the time I did it as a way to not forget him as more time passed. Funny thing is to this point that has not been an issue, as I think of him often. There are more than a few what would Joe do moments in my head. Then of course having a memento of something from my past (long before I met Joe) that I got from Joe is prominently displayed in my shop.
