Anyone remember Theo?
Pistol-packin' preacher and a very good friend of mine who has done me more favors than I can say?
I don't know how I manage to meet people like that, but they make me who I am in a lot of ways. Who we know makes a huge difference in how we interpret what is going on around us. Theo taught me a lot....
One of the things I looked at most closely is the basic idea put so simply after the chase scene in the movie "DRIVEN" with Sly Stallone:
"Winning is like a good disease. If you are around people who have it - you're going to catch it..."
And Theo was like that for me. I see it in the people I most want to know, and it is true. Be with the people you want to be like...

That's a great outlook Grey. I am who i most want to be like. ME. I like me, always did like me, am glad I'm me. I'm just free to be me. Now if I can only convince the rest of the world how good a thing that is, but they can't be me, that's just for me.

He was out west for a while - but you know Theo...
If there is something good that can be done somewhere he's constantly on the road.

Who is Theo Grey? I've been lucky like you to have met some really good people early on who helped keep my head screwed on somewhat straight. Not that i liked everything they said, but as a young man you think you know it all, until you learn differently, then they make sense.

You know - I thought about that. I wondered if you might be annoyed in some way.
But you and I (and sissy) had a blast in the TN forum and really stirred up some gratuitous trouble and competition with Texas once upon a time in these chapters...
(Who have totally smoked the TN forum since then) and I guess I just missed the good old online days. Say hello to Sissy for me, BTW. I hope the kite finally flew...

My Lady says hi.... and the kite flew so well it escaped... but we had 3 months of great fun with it. I miss TN rather a lot, which surprised me - I liked it well enough when we were there, but I have been doing some nasty work in worse places, and wish I was back there, in peace, and doing firearm courses for folk...
I am looking for a chunk of land in TN, for purchase, sometime next spring.... (The TN firearm permit is still the best in the country, and mine has expired, and without a TN license you are screwed ..)

Hello Theo,
Was intrigued when I read how highly Grey thought of you. I always appreciate people who make a positive influence in others lives and don't take themselves to seriously. Heard something when I was younger that I kept with me. Be easy on others and hard on yourself.

I can niether confirm nor deny I know anything at all. The problem with knowing people in sensitive occupations is that you always have to leave it at Supermans response:
"He's around"
Around where, i wouldn't be at liberty to say even if I was sure myself.
Trust me - if he wants you to find him you'll know.
