When my late good friend Ole Tob would be chomping at the bit,anxiously awaiting football season in SWVA. I think of him often,and miss him very much. Many a time we'd get together either on here or in person and cut up,be serious about life,whatever. He was as funny of a guy as I have ever known (kept me in stitches with his Phil impressions many times),but he was also a fiercely loyal friend. He had the same kind of love and passion for his beloved Big Blue as I do my Big Red,and that's what started a great friendship. There's not a season that kicks off that I don't shoot a glance skyward,and through the sadness of missing my friend,still have a smile,because I know he's sitting alongside folks like Tom Turner watching the game of the night from the best seat in the house. This board (and this world) hasn't been the same without him. Take the time to enjoy the moment friends,because you never know when it may end. I spent yesterday evening watching my son's Wise bunch battle PV in a great baseball game,and left smiling,thinking "As rough as this life can be,it still has it's moments when I wouldn't trade it for anything". Make sure you always remember to tell the ones around you what they mean NOW,because at the drop of a tear they're gone. I know it's a ramble,but it's on my mind,and it's a good time to remind my friends on here to stop and smell the roses from time to time. Peace out amigos.
