 Ben's Toastoff in Kitchener Kitchener, Ontario, Canada I don't have much to say about this album. As most of my friends know, my very dear friend Ben passed away in September. It was and remains a tragic loss. His family opted not to hold a traditional funeral and instead had what they call a Toast-Off. I wasn't sure exactly what it would entail, but it was actually a very enjoyable event where countless friends and family of Ben were able to show up and tell stories of him while we all drank silly amounts of alcohol. It would have been right up Ben's alley. One of the greatest surprises that I came upon was a sweater that belonged to Ben. It had been put in my Osprey backpack, something I hadn't used since Ben and I traveled together in 2019. I spent some time trying to figure out who it belonged to, but eventually reasoned that it must have been his. I'd imagine that he crammed it into my backpack when we were boarding one of the ferries that we took across the Irish Sea. Suffice it to say, it's a wonderful little remnant of him that I have. |
