Ron (aka: Ronnie Berenguer, an obvious play off of the former Mets, Royals, Blue Jays, Tigers, Giants, Twins, Braves pitcher from the 80's).
Ron is one of my dearest and long time friends. I remember first meeting Ron at a party in high school, and he repeatedly sang the phrase, "October 31st, that is my date of birth." Actually, it's not. It's just a lyric from a Beastie Boys song. We've been buds ever since.
Ron is also one of the few close friends of mine to have known my mother, which is very important to me. Like many of my close pals who will be standing up, Ron still hails from Chicago. And while he's one of the few buddies of mine who doesn't communicate via the Internet, he never hesitates to send me a text message when the Steelers lose and the Bears win. I think he still owes me a case of beer from a recent sporting wager. But who's keeping score?
