Re: RE: Reel Mowers

It's all true. And since your's & Robert's families knew each other
growing up, you think he'd know you by now!! But he just does that
deer-in-headlights look w/ eye rollage when you say stuff like that.
It's amazing. He was going to play golf one weekend I was there and
couldn't find his golf shoes so he went and bought another pair. I
looked at him like he was insane naturally. You two are the odd couple
for sure...
