This morning I was reminded of a friend that passed on almost thirteen years ago. He would have been 53 today. I can't help but smile when I think of him. He was one of the most flamboyant characters I've ever known. A southern boy from Tennessee, he came to NYC to find himself, fit in and make his mark. His sense of style was like no other. He had a penchant for wearing enormous bow ties and thermal underwear as everyday wear with army boots as a statement of his individuality. And somehow, he could pull it off. You could sense his energy when he entered a room - how could you miss him in that attire! His idea of a well balanced meal was vodka and Entenmann's chocolate chip cookies. As much as he loved and enjoyed life, he had a knack for self-destructive behavior. Although he lived fast and hard, he embraced every moment. Here's to you T!

Bless your heart!

As always,
TOO
