Even though it had been nearly 10 years since I last saw Tmo, the fact that he is no longer here to spread the "Tmo love" breaks my heart. And, after reading all the great stories on the blog, I know that Tmo was still the funny, sweet, lovable guy I knew back then! I don't know how these stories will translate in written form, but suffice it to say that they have been with me for a long, long time!!
Tmo came by the house one day and said he was thinking about me. He had seen a documentary on channel 13 (PBS) the night before. It was about brain surgery in ancient history; and he proceeded to give me a very detailed description of how this was done. After he effectively grossed me out, I asked why that made him think of me. He said "it's called trepanation; isn't that your last name?" (No, Trapani. But he was close!!)
Tmo, Lea Ana and I got lawn tickets to Lollapalooza II at Starplex (or whatever it was called). Even though it was a typical Dallas, heat-stroke inducing summer day, I was really worried that it would rain. Luckily, Tmo was there to calm my fears:
"Are you made out of sugar?"
"NO"
"Are you made out of shit?"
"NO"
"Well, the only things that melt in the water are sugar and shit - you'll be fine!!"
Much love TMO!!!
