SUNDAY MARCH 20TH 5pm

TUESDAYS AFTERNOON

I was driving my friend home one night. I pulled in to his driveway as I had done 600 times before. Sitting in his driveway , we chatted like 600 times before. I told  him that 25 years ago I traveled to Vail Colorado. A very good friend had died of an acute asthma attack while whitewater rafting the Colorado river. Being Jewish , the family took his body directly back home to New Jersey.  We felt as his friends , rebuffed at not being able to pay our last respects. Luckily for us , Peter @ the Vail Racket Club felt the same way. 2 months later we all came together. Everyone brought food , we told our own stories of how our FRIEND Bart had affected us. Sunset at the racket club is spectacular itself , that day even more so. 150 friends & family released helium balloons at sunset , each filled with memories of days gone by.

       I asked my friend Tuesday , to please do that for me. I will always remember the smile that followed. With an out stretched hand he solemnly

promised the deed was done. With a wink He asked “ can I do it at Everydays ? I don’t think I can get everyone to go to Colorado.” We both busted a gut laughing so hard it truly HURT. Getting out of my truck , he leaned in the window & with his boyish grin said “ that sounds good  will you  do the same for me “ ? Before I could answer , He said “only can you serve Hoffman hotdogs , & make that meat sauce you know I like. I want a keg of Ice cold beer , & as quickly as he started he looked at me “ That’s probably enough , would you do that for me “? Before I could answer He said You know I’ll do it for you!! We  laughed again & I thought I hope I don’t have to do it. Well I do have to do it.

       My friend Tommy “TUESDAY” Riveglia lost his fight for life
January 12th  2011 after just a brief 46 years.
He may be gone , But not forgotten !!!!

    Please help my wife & I celebrate Tuesdays life. Meet us on the Patio @ Everydays 5  P.M. Sunday March 20th. It’s the first day of Spring & we can’t think of a better day . Yeah , We’ll be serving Hoffman hot dogs , meat sauce & ice cold beer. If you have an  “appropriate” story you want to share please tell us. Sunset we will release helium balloons.  A $5 donation will be accepted for his twins college fund.
