25 Years ago

My father passed, and as I do every year, I am down at the club, buying him a gin & tonic and toasting him.

That is a cool tradition. Great way to remember your dad.

I never thought of doing that, never drank with the old man very much and he wasn't much of a drinker either.

A few years ago I did see a pack of Pall Mall cigarettes at a store while trying to find a cigar for the road. I bought it and had a few, it was the brand I used to buy at the local chicken coop/party store for him as a kid.

Looks like you do have a grand tradition there.

I do get some funny looks as a pour sips
Of his drink in the river , he lived on his boat here.
In his youth
In my youth

BTW - the Mug is tits too.

I never considered drinking beer with a straw, going to have to try that.

Cheers to your dad and to you for remembering him.

Never did either - It's a nice tradition.

My mom was not a drinker, when she did it was a Manhattan. I like Manhattans - I think of her at a family wedding or special event when she would have one.

When my dad died we toasted him alright. Sent the bastard off to the crematorium.
