I just need to write

Today a co-worker retired.  It was such a sad day for me.  I have worked with him for 20 years.  He was the first one to show me about the office.  He was the one, who, when I turned 24 years old, in the middle of the work week, that came to my apartment and(and had no one else to celebrate the day with) brought me a gift and beer, and took me out to play pool and air hockey.  He kicked my ass in pool, but I killed him in air hockey.  Happy retirement Bruce.  You have been a true friend, and I will miss your old sarcastic ass.
