Best Whiner, er, Shriner 

Skip Sleyster

There is something undeniable about Shriner Skip Sleyster's plea from inside every Sunday's Metropolitan section in The Kansas City Star. "ONE MOMENT OF YOUR TIME PLEASE!!" Maybe it's the all caps and the double exclamation points, but, well, gosh, Skip, who could say no to that honest, pencil-sketched face peeking out from under a ballcap? (Ten bucks says it's mesh.) Every week, Skip gives it to us straight: Union Station? A "ship at sea with no captain." President Bush? "He should go home to Texas." Don't even get him started on the Royals. Always lookin' out for home-grown KC businesses and the St. Vincent's sisters, collectin' money for the babies' diapers. Aww, Skip, bet you look great in a fez.

Today , I lost my brother Skip.
He died early this morning.
I am numb.
My mind races of past memories.
