As to the beloved husband, he divorced her shortly after I met him at the 2011 CigarFest.
Yes, I do recall that detail. Still gotta ask WTF happened, though perhaps it's just none of our business.
It's strange as hell and I still don't wanna believe it's true.
I still haven't heard anything from other friends. Seemed to be doing well, was more formally involved in a number of cigar lines, seemed happy if not excited for those ventures.
Too weird. The obit didn't make much sense either.

Chode sampler for CI today.

Today is Saturday, Sept. 17, the 261st day of 2016. There are 105 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Sept. 17, 1978, after meeting at Camp David, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin (men-AH'-kem BAY'-gihn) and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat signed a framework for a peace treaty.
On this date:
In 1787, the Constitution of the United States was completed and signed by a majority of delegates attending the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.
In 1862, more than 3,600 men were killed in the Civil War Battle of Antietam (an-TEE'-tum) in Maryland.
In 1908, Lt. Thomas E. Selfridge of the U.S. Army Signal Corps became the first person to die in the crash of a powered aircraft, the Wright Flyer, at Fort Myer, Virginia, just outside Washington D.C.
In 1937, the likeness of President Abraham Lincoln's head was dedicated at Mount Rushmore.
In 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Poland during World War II, more than two weeks after Nazi Germany had launched its assault.
In 1944, during World War II, Allied paratroopers launched Operation Market Garden, landing behind German lines in the Netherlands. (After initial success, the Allies were beaten back by the Germans.)
In 1955, Tennessee Ernie Ford recorded "Sixteen Tons" by Merle Travis for Capitol Records in Hollywood.
In 1966, "Mission: Impossible" premiered on CBS.
In 1971, citing health reasons, Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, 85, retired. (Black, who was succeeded by Lewis F. Powell Jr., died eight days after making his announcement.)
In 1984, Progressive Conservative leader Brian Mulroney (muhl-ROO'-nee) took office as Canada's 18th prime minister.
In 1986, the Senate confirmed the nomination of William H. Rehnquist to become the 16th chief justice of the United States.
In 1996, Former Vice President Spiro T. Agnew died in Berlin, Maryland, at age 77.
Ten years ago: Pope Benedict XVI said he was "deeply sorry" his recent remarks on Islam and violence had offended Muslims, but the unusual expression of papal regret drew a mixed reaction from Islamic leaders, some of whom said it wasn't enough. Five Duquesne (doo-KAYN') basketball players were shot and wounded during an apparent act of random violence on the Pittsburgh campus. (Four people later pleaded guilty in connection with the shootings; the two who wielded guns received prison sentences.) Patricia Kennedy Lawford, the sister of President John F. Kennedy and ex-wife of actor Peter Lawford, died in New York City at age 82.
Five years ago: A demonstration calling itself Occupy Wall Street began in New York, prompting similar protests around the U.S. and the world. Charles H. Percy, 91, a Chicago businessman who became a U.S. senator and was once widely viewed as a top presidential contender, died in Washington.
One year ago: General Motors agreed to pay $900 million to fend off criminal prosecution over the deadly ignition-switch scandal, striking a deal that brought criticism down on the Justice Department for not bringing charges against individual employees; GM also announced it would spend $575 million to settle the majority of the civil lawsuits filed over the scandal. The Federal Reserve kept U.S interest rates at record lows in the face of threats from a weak global economy, persistently low inflation and unstable financial markets.

Thought for Today: "Governments exist to protect the rights of minorities. The loved and the rich need no protection - they have many friends and few enemies." - Wendell Phillips, American abolitionist (1811-1884).

nope, sorry, I already have five I'm picking up. why don't you wait until the last minute to make arrangements? I'm sure someone would be glad to drive back and forth just for you. what, would I? sure if it wasn't 2 hours round trip so I could enjoy the picnic.

I'm going to have to find a nice frame for Barry's obit, print off a couple of pictures I have of him and find a place of honor. wish he lived closer, I'd like to show up at the funeral and pay my respects.

Saw that. Could have been much worse, but the race was delayed, so people weren't around when it went off.

"Police say officers will be riding two to a car until further notice."
When did that stop being the standard? I think it's ridiculous that we need a car for each officer. Seems like a waste of money. Maybe Cam could weigh in?

Yes, I do recall that detail. Still gotta ask WTF happened, though perhaps it's just none of our business.

I still haven't heard anything from other friends. Seemed to be doing well, was more formally involved in a number of cigar lines, seemed happy if not excited for those ventures.
Too weird. The obit didn't make much sense either.
47 years old. Four years younger than me. Faint shudder of horror.

What is it about guys in recovery and grills? Neighbor and friend of mine, now departed, used to do the same thing. Always manned the grill at recovery events. ;-)
Good on ya, Deano.

Don't want to spread rumors but usually when obits are this vague it's because the family doesn't want people to know what happened. My cousin's looked a lot like Barry's and his was a suicide.
Either way, we lost a good botl and it saddens me.

Yeah, but it could also be that they don't know for certain what happened. Could be a brain aneurysm, heart attack, pulmonary embolism, none of which are respectful of age and none of which leave telltales.

Completely agree, Raz. I didn't mean to imply anything. Just stating that it is always unsettling when they're vague.
Edit: Thought it was Deano that I was replying to.

Yup, guess I'm just hoping it wasn't suicide, because that's such a waste. I understand it, and as someone who battles a mood disorder I know what kind of bullshit a malfunctioning brain can throw at people. But it would just be so frustrating to me to lose Barry to that.
Regardless, may his spirit be at peace.

Don't know anything about those. Maybe they'll be great.
Just looked it up. I think Foundry Cigars have gotten decent ratings. Enjoy in good health, Deano. Make sure to let us know what you think about 'em.
