102/365 "turtle man" mike

told us--we didn't believe him. he began sharing photos...bears in his bathtub, tigers at the dinner table etc., the fantastical stories were true! at 80, scuba-ed & motorcycled. at 84, drove a u-haul cross-country...said he was going home to die.

I know. my OB readers are going to raise an outcry! Why didn't I mention this about him?! Or that about him? Or the fact that he crashed the u-haul into my front porch before he drove across country & it took a crane to remove it? All I can say is that this is the hardest one yet to limit to 40 words...and I'm even cheating by leaving you all this comment! :^)And by not counting the numbers in the actual entry. Someday, I'll write something more encompassing of turtle man mike, i promise.
xo,

As you pass 100 entries, it is only now dawning on me how entirely challenging this whole project must be in every way. I love it. I will continue to love it for the next 263 posts and beyond.
