When did you meet Mickey?
2004
Where did you meet him?
Through Abby
Memory of Mickey
Mickey. How do I describe the round about way that I met him and got to know him. Abby and I met on Tribe what seems like a lifetime ago, but was around 2003. She was always pretty candid (shocking right š ) about her life and shared a lot about her family with some of us. So, before I met Mickey I knew of “Abby’s Dad”. Advice, musings, etc. were shared through Abby. Abby’s Dad. But then he started a blog and he shifted to Abby’s Dad Mickey, and he was not the boring old man his blog advertised him to be. His advise, musings, etc. became a direct voice into my own head and his view of the world was a perspective that was interesting and insightful. It was like having a family friend sit on the porch and tell you stuff that was actually useful and interesting. Abby would still share the back story (and the amazing stories of Sharon, as well) and so he was still partially Abby’s Dad, but he was also very much Mickey-the not so boring old man.
