Was thinking fondly of Mac the other day. Can't believe it's been two years already without him.
I will smoke a maduro in remembrance.

Watched a few innings of Mets baseball the other day, and thought of Mac. Am lighting up right now for him.

Though I never met Mac in person, through the board and through my friends that did I feel I know him. I'll break stride and smoke a maduro in his memory today.
