Oh, that's fantastic to hear, thank you. Coming from you, that's the most wonderful compliment. I told a version of this story on stage some years back as part of a storytelling night. I'd been meaning to write it up for some time now... glad I did.
Love how this turned out, Rob. Echoing Rick Lewis, this is a fantastic story -- one of the best I've heard in a long time. It's a pleasure to read your writing.
Rob, thank you for sharing this story. It was like a great detective book, kept me captivated until the end. I totally feel your dads anger on some punk shitting on him and agree that sometimes you just have to let go of these things. Good luck in your writing and cheers from Vilnius.
This makes me so happy to read, Tomas—thanks so much for reading, and for taking the time to leave this thoughtful comment. Agreed—and so glad my dad finally let go, in his own way. Thanks again, and I'll look forward to reading your work.
This is the best personal story I have heard in a long time. So well done Rob.

This is so wonderful to hear, and of course your input is always so appreciated! I fixed some key things, thanks to you. 🙏
This is absolutely wild Rob. Had me cracking up. Also, beautifully written.
Thanks so much, Alex!

Rob, glad about the inspiring quality of this shared story of yours. Will be excited to see your feedback on my work.
...wow...just wow...and i love the journey if only just a step..."From the rageful “THAT FUCKING GUY” to the casual “Fuck that guy.”...incredible...
Ah, thanks so much CansaFis. I love that this connected. And agreed—it was such a major (if short-distance) journey for him!
Wow, Rob! You had my heart in my throat. Excellent story, and scary too! So glad things with your dad and Travis didn't get any worse.
Oh, thank you, Cherie--I'm glad, too. So happy you like the story. As always, I appreciate your reading! 🙏
