For Rob...
I am out. On my way to Savannah, to give Rob the proper send-off, to raise a drink and tell a tale with cherished friends.
For those of you who cannot make it, I raise a cyber toe-toast...
You see, Rob and I had that antagonizing, love-hate friendship thing going on, and so, at all of our blogmeets - though I painted HIS toes red - I never gave in.
I wore maroon toes.
I wore frosted pink toes.
I wore hot pink toes.
I wore cranberry toes.
"Got-dammit, that ain't red," he said to the cranberry toes, "you do that shit just to piss me off."
Heh. Yes hon, I did.
So for Rob, I bought a bottle of Revlon's best today. The color is new, and perfect for the occasion: frankly scarlet. Very clever. He would approve.
I will be wearing open-toed sandal's tomorrow. Rob, this toe's for you:
Very fitting Key. Give my regards and condolences to family. Say "hey" for me to those we both know. Have a safe trip.
Very apropos, Key. I'll be painting mine red and raising a glass tomorrow afternoon as well. It's good that you are able to go.

Perfect. He would most certainly approve...

That made me cry. Come to think of it I can't stop crying and I never even personally meet him but I feel like I did. Give our regards Key. Thanks
I',m pretty sure that Rob's smiling now...

Posted by: baldilocks at June 29, 2006 09:34 PMPerfect. Absolutely perfect.
And I have to agree - I think he would approve.....
Posted by: Tammi at June 30, 2006 08:16 AMYou made him happy one more time. Thanks for coming and it is always a charm to see your pretty face, Cat
Posted by: Catfish at July 1, 2006 02:26 AMHa ha! Very pretty toes. You are the only person I've ever met that could go 15 rounds of bare-knuckle brawling with Robbie, and both of you walk away with bloody noses, claiming victory.

Posted by: vicki at July 1, 2006 05:22 PM... goodness... a great tribute, and I know Rob would approve.... but how often do you shave your feet?... those suckers are smooooooth..... and isn't it difficult?...
Posted by: Eric at July 1, 2006 08:15 PMI don't think she shaves those feet, Eric. She puts buttermilk on them, and cats lick it off. At least, that's my fantasy. Meantime, it is an awesome tribute to a good dude.
Posted by: Velociman at July 3, 2006 08:30 PMYou do know you are now obligated to wear red toes to Helen, right?
