He lived across the street and down a house or two from me. I noticed his parents' house on the market so I contacted him on Facebook. His dad passed away some time ago and his mom just passed last year. Bobby is what we called in those days "slow". We played in the neighborhood for a time but as we got older we drifted apart. Here comes the awesome part- He's been writing children's books and was recently interviewed on Channel 7 in Buffalo: Author with Aspergers is inspiring others with his books and message I'm so happy for him that he's getting his books published and getting recognized for it. Awesome. 1 Quote

Like surviving reentry from low Earth orbit with nary a scorch mark while upping my dangle by 40 percent awesome. It won't be. Quote

ubkev Posted May 12, 2021 Report Posted May 12, 2021 Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is awesome. The surfing hasn't been anything special and I don't even care. I left 60 degrees and raining every day and came to 84, sunny and ocean breeze. Quote

darksabre Posted May 31, 2021 Report Posted May 31, 2021 Went to the Indy 500 this weekend for the first time. Traveled with a group of guys who have been going for years so it was great to just be basically along for the ride. The whole town is a big block party until race day and everyone is really in to it. What a great experience. I'm exhausted but I can't say enough good things about the people, the venue, etc. Plus it was just incredible to be back in a big shared, communal environment again. The pandemic stole a lot from us these past 15 months. It's good to feel like things are getting back to normal. 2 Quote
