I spent many years, and many many miles, traveling with Neil on various journeys all over the west coast. Through all the miles, one woman continued to come up in conversation. Neil would always talk about her as the one that got away, the one that got away, and on and on…
We periodically visited her on some of our trips through Northern California, for only a brief moment before we hit the road again on our trek.
Finally, after many years of this delicate dance, Neil finally moved north to live with me in Mountain View CA in a tiny little apartment conveniently located to Silicon Valley, and Santa Cruz. Neil would slip away periodically to make the half hour drive over the hills on his quest to see the one that got away.
Here’s to the one that got away, and to the man who chased her down and married her!
Much love,
Rob
