parting is such sweet sorrow

it is with a great deal of sadness that i must pass on the news that the final souvenier from the great Raids on Montreal~ has died.........the ashtray from the Maritime Hotel, a true fan favorite from the outdoor bar at Club Gato is no longer with us.........her passing was a swift as it was shocking.....one moment she was resting on the ledge of the Bar while Val and I shared a Beer watching the Rangers......and the next minute she  lay shattered in a million pieces on the patio....we arent sure if she took her own life and leapt off the bar to her death...or perhaps was startled by a Barking Dog who will forever remain nameless....but the fact is ....SHE IS GONE........a little piece of my past died with that ashtray...........perhaps its a sign from the Gods of Alcohol Abuse that it is time to return to the aforementioned Maritime Hotel ??
