Michael - a free spirit!

"If red touches yellow - you're a dead fellow, Red touches black - you're okay jack."
Michael is an adventurer - heading out to spend some time in Santa Fe with a friend to figure out what he wants to do in life. He plans on going rock climbing - and we talked about the creatures of the desert and snakes- evan talking about ones in Australia - Michael was an encyclopedia of information - apparently in Australia are the top most dangerous snakes, spiders etc - no wonder I didn't travel to the outback alone when I was visiting there - good thing!

Michael deserves credit here - as soon as I mentioned I was writing this book - he said I should include connections it made for me - what it made me think of etc - so I'll have to try that on for size to see where it leads me. Good Luck Michael - be safe!

Todd

When I mentioned to Todd at the end that I was writing this book - he paused a second and said "hopefully I didn't say anything I'll regret." We both laughed. Most of our conversation evolved around travel, tickets and driving etc.
For ticketes - we shared stories of our children and ourseleves - as well as how both of us could spend a day writing tickets for people using cell phones while driving by simply sitting on almost any corner in Rochester. It's now a law that you must be hands-free - but that is not what is happening.
Traveling - flights have gotten much fuller than a few years ago - when planes seemed almost empty and you could spread out a bit. Not to mention the snacks etc. Then the delays and how people get mad at the innnocent people behind th counters when weather is at fault. It's amazing.
Hope Todd's travel to Athens was fun.
