We've got a lot of great stuff on-board for you this month.

Before I go into that, I'd like to tell people about my friend Bruce "Boo" Smith who passed away on Wednesday from a long illness. Boo was a special friend who, in the four years I knew him, would never fail to make me laugh.

Some folks don't understand how I could be friends with someone who I've never met but through the hundreds of emails and phone calls, we had a special bond; a friendship that I will treasure forever. Boo taught me much but the most important lesson was grace in the face of adversity.

Boo cared deeply for his friends and even on his last day with us, made it a point, through his own pain, to post funny pictures to make us laugh. His one joy in life was making people smile with his funny pictures and wicked sense of humor.

We spoke at length a few days before he passed. He told me that he was going to a place that had a huge library where he could sit and read with his kitty Scotty on his lap. I believe his is there now, surrounded by friends and family who've passed before him, at peace and out of pain.

Good-bye my friend and godspeed - the world is a darker place without your light and love.
