Dear MadasaHatter, thank you for your trip report. I too would like to offer my condolences at the loss of THE DUDE. He sounds like a very special person and friend. I'm glad that you were able to enjoy his company for so long.
Must confess - I've avoided reading this report because I've been going through a bit of a rough spot and just couldn't take "one more thing". Things are much better now, I decided to read your report today, and found myself chuckling ... I think you did a great job of honoring Tom and making the trip a celebration in his memory, which is so lovely ... You sound like a hoot, and you must have been a hoot times two with Tom ... Ordering a dole whip at Bengal BBQ? PRETTY CHEEKY :-) And it worked? Well, kind of? I can only imagine the bright smile and clever conversation that must have prefaced your order. I'm CONFUSED though, and NEED answers. The gal who took your order wouldn't go, but found someone who would? But after all of that, you ended up with an ORANGE FANTA? You. Left. Out. Key. Details.
Also, I was googling around and found a cool site you might like. Have you heard about VIRTUAL TOAD?
I stumbled on it recently, it looks rather abandoned, sad to say, but many parts of it still work well enough to bring a bit of a smile to my face. Since you are a fellow lover of THE TOAD, I thought you should know about it too, and I hope it brightens your day.
Hang in there, friend. Be good to yourself.
