do you remember bob?

Do you remember Bob? I wrote about him a while back.

Bob's been here since the beginning. He's a founder. He works on aircraft. He cuts gems. He sometimes shows us the stuff he's worked on in my lounge.

He once emailed to tell me he's a cheapskate who doesn't donate enough, and then asked me where I needed the money most.

Bob's a character. Every time I get an email from him, I know I'm in for a good chuckle or two.

He wrote me this morning about the Charlie piece.

He told me that he figures I'll end up with a target on me as big as Charlie's one day. An odd way to compliment someone... isn't it? Telling them they're going to get shot if they keep it up... but then Bob immediately followed up by telling me that he'll stand next to me and take the bullet.
