Thanks so much. I'm pretty sure something close enough to the yard sale scenario actually happened to make that story not entirely BS, though Rob might remember it differently. Glad Rob's family doesn't think I'm a jerk for for squeezing a humor column out of a decidedly non-humorous event. You guys are the coolest (Tim and Anthea included) -- thanks for the nice words!Mike Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08769922952632331554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757363.post-56472936728738654382010-04-14T22:53:23.167-04:002010-04-14T22:53:23.167-04:00I can't resist another comment on the ROB and ...I can't resist another comment on the ROB and missing digit story. It was outrageous and FUNNY. Mr. Todd is really rocking, from his descriptions of Rob flying high (skiing) both inspiring praise and then crashing and scattering winter outerwear (did the 12 year olds really shout Yard Sale!?), to the meal (ugh!) the seagull gets to make of his poor ol’ finger --- AND a dead on take of Rob’s typical stoicism: “It’s kind of tough to type” is great. Also, great bits about auto-amputations and bagel mishaps. <br /><br />I just read it out loud to Tim and Anthea, who both laughed and laughed!Now if you could just promise me that old buddy of yours will lay off the kite surfing....Melissa Croghanhttp://melissacroghan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757363.post-41040483598463894712010-04-14T12:22:21.877-04:002010-04-14T12:22:21.877-04:00What a great column on Rob, risk taking, and getti...What a great column on Rob, risk taking, and getting through life with humor and daring. And I always thought that guy (my son) was a cautious young man....(NOT!)He also takes risks, good ones with his camera, and many of us try with words and paint to be daring on a daily basis. Superb writing, Mike. I thoroughly enjoyed it, from beginning to end. I love your biographies of friends.Melissa Croghanhttp://melissacroghan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757363.post-81046577532967645972010-04-14T05:04:01.042-04:002010-04-14T05:04:01.042-04:00Mike !

You are very right to be jealous about my conversation starter, so far it has served me well. Especially because it's about a sport that I really love. I posted a few pics of the post-op finger... WARNING they are not pretty.
