The wife is down in Florida visiting her dad.
Big Mike is a damn fine human being.
A guy who’s far beyond A-okay in my book …. the type of guy everyone wants in their corner.
So, on a day like today, in the spirit of making myself feel a little better about life in general, decided to write something in his honor.

BIG MIKE - We all want one special in-law, that one we can like And I'm very grateful to be blessed with Big Mike That guy in your corner, on whom you can depend A father, a mentor, a superhero, and friend He's taken great care of the woman I call my wife Taught her to be strong and make her way through this life Party animal and my favorite drinkin' buddy A guy who clears the water when things can get muddy He's there in the good times just as much as the bad Erasing the "in-law" - I just as soon call him Dad He's that one guy you can count on if the happiness passes And looks like one tough hombre is those dark sunglasses I can pick on him and he takes it in good jest And that's what makes our relationship the best But he's the guy that makes those really good times spike So to me, he's always just going to be Big ol' Mike Cause he's far larger than life with a heart of gold A laughter that fills the room that he has controlled A storyteller who'll dazzle you with a twinkle, I won't deny And will will razz you in the devilish blink of an eye Cheers! Up with the Sambuca, I raise this glass in toast To that special father-in-law who I appreciate the most And to that man I find so impossible to dislike Thank you for everything, my friend. I love you, Big Mike. - JB, 3DEC2K24
