I got a humorous call from Robin Washington this evening. He was concerned that after our tiff over the debate people might think I was talking about him in the first sentence of my essay for the Trib.
I assured him that no one could confuse the school age Robin that I had chaperoned on Church mission trips with the editor of the paper but he wanted me to give him my Robin’s last name. We settled on the last initial to avoid any confusion.
When I explained why I was chuckling to my wife she told me that Andy, the other boy I mentioned was in a secret location because he was in special forces. I guess when I heard special forces my mind automatically placed him in Iraq although Afghanistan is an equally likely and dangerous location.
Robin hasn’t given in. I won’t be debating but he recieved a ton of email and calls from my supporters including one of his old acquaintences in Massachusettes. Have I got reach or what?
