dirty ol todd

*sigh*

todd is a guy i've worked with for like three and a half years, and he's awesome.  he's a tiny little fella, just whispy thin, only about five four, he's somewhere around 50, he's got a fantastic moustache, and he's damn near the dirtiest old man i know (my old man wins every time).  todd smokes faster than any human i've ever seen...we always joke about how he just goes outside and eats a cigarette cause he's always back in like forty seconds.  he's an old school rodeo cowboy, from back in the days when rodeo wasn't on espn, and those dudes broke their asses for peanuts.  todd is badass.  love me some todd. 

found out yesterday that todd has cancer in his brain.

been staring at a blinking cursor here for a couple of minutes, cause i don't really know what to say.  other than life seems to fuck awesome people over all the time.  todd isn't the first person i've worked with to get cancer in the last couple of years.  it happened to tiffani, who is without question, the single greatest waitress ever.  she's just the best.  and it's great to see her out at the restaurant on sat and sun mornings doing a little paperwork, and she's got her cancer beat and she's well on the road to recovery, so i can look forward to working with her again sometime down the road. 

the doctors told todd there was really nothing they could do.  i wouldn't count todd out just yet, he's a tough sumbitch, but it's gonna be a battle, and i just want to use this forum to say that i'm rooting for ya, buddy.  miss ya on the line.
