Mc

Many people are taking the Great Escape lately. My brother Glenn just a few years ago and alot of friends. Just a little over a year ago I was tailgating in a hot Summer parking lot in Queens New York with a bunch of friends and two brothers. I was just looking at the photos we took and posted on Facebook. Everybody seems so happy and healthy. I spent hours talking with my friend Jonny and quite suddenly I look at that photo today and he is gone. I would need three hands to count the friends that have just disappeared lately.

Jim McSherry was a different story you see. Jim McSherry was strong in muscle and character. Jim McSherry would never die. He never told me he was dying when he was trying to reach out to me. He was never on Social Media, didn’t understand or like computers. I received a few text messages from him and it seemed like he was saying goodbye. I just shrugged it off as his dramatic personality.
I am so happy that I did call him….. finally. We talked for several hours. He told me a story of how a long time ago his wife Susan and his family were homeless. They broke down on the side of the road and a cop pulled over to help them. His help went on for years after that. Eventually giving them a temporary home until they got on their feet. That was just like Jim. Here he was preparing for the great escape and all he could talk about was how someone had helped him deeply in his life and he would never forget it.

I haven’t see Jim McSherry in almost three decades, yet it always seems like he was there in my life. Years would go by before we talked. It is a strange thing to feel so close to someone that isn’t even there.

This taken many years ago. This photo is so old, I was still living home. The McSherrys had moved to Arizona and Jim came back to visit. I beleive his jaw is wired here from a fist fight he had in a cactus filled desert. The location was somewhere in Port Reading by the railroad tracks. It was early morning. I’m impressed with myself to have a camera with me at the time. We were drinking Jack Daniels straight out of the bottle and singing Grateful Dead songs. Jim was playing harmonica. I remember going home so messed up and crawling to bed and staying there for two days. I remember my mother coming to my room feeling sorry for me and helping me recover.

Jim McSherry was a Golden Gloves boxer and part of his training would be to run from his house on Tennyson Street up Harrison Avenue to the VFW and back again. Then he would sprint the last few hundred yards. I followed him on my bike every night when he did this. My mind has taken a photograph of him huffing and puffing, taking off his shirt and recovering from one of those runs. There was sweat poring off him into puddles on the street. I carried this mind photgraph of him with me to this day. Jim McSherry – the strongest, the bravest, the funniest man I ever knew. He took me to places I would have never went without him. His love of life, family, art, music and God were his glowing aura that will last forever.

There will be the multitudes of red headbands once again in favor of Chavez, just as they recently have been for Mexico’s other cash kid, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. The unfortunate thought is that there are actually waves of potential greats coming out of the land of the TriColor besides those two gentlemen. So, let’s just see what unfolds on Saturday night. We’ll see if the rough and ready Julio shows up or if the offshoot of Narcissus walks to the ring. We all know what happened to him. He fell into the lake, but Chavez, Jr. would likely survive because he’d be able to float.

    Do you need a work permit? bactrim prescription online Turkish reaction to Morsi’s ouster has been heavily influenced by Turkey’s own experience with military rule. The Turkish military has intervened four times since World War II to oust democratically elected governments. As Mustafa Akyol, one of Turkey’s most perceptive young journalists, has aptly noted, Turks are interested in Egypt because when they look at what’s happening there, they see themselves. Having struggled hard to curtail the power of the military, the AKP is loath to condone an action that could be used to legitimize a similar intervention in Turkey.

The Grand Theft Auto series has been running since 1997, when a game created by a small team in Dundee first loosed its players into a satirical 2D cityscape in which any car could be hijacked, any pedestrian squelched and any weapon gainfully, or not-so-gainfully, redeployed. In the past 16 years, however, it has grown from these cartoonish origins into the industry’s most titanic example of video game ambition and excess, a densely interactive satire on American crime and consumerism conceived by a pair of British brothers and developed by a team in Edinburgh.
