uncle leo strikes again!

last weekend cathy was in town visiting from seattle. unfortunately i don't have pictures from any of the times we hung out, but i do have a good story.
on saturday night, ryan, cathy, audrey, rob (aka uncle leo), and i all met up for dinner at red rock brewery in downtown slc. rob was busy on a date or something, so he was running late. we sat around telling audrey about our favorite rob stories, since she had never met him. ryan and rob were roommates years ago in utah and cathy and i became friends with rob in seattle. well, ryan had some good stories to share, including one where rob died his hair (back before he buzzed his head) a blue/black shade back and it turned out more blue than black! there were a few other classic rob stories told before rob showed up.
we ate dinner, then decided we needed to go back to ryan's place to see some pics and videos of rob with blue hair! so, i rode with ryan since we're neighbors right now (i'm housesitting in sugarhouse), cathy and audrey rode together and told rob they'd follow him.
ryan and i got back to his house and a bit later cathy called asking for directions because rob was a punk and ditched them. they had been following him and then he started speeding and turning and swerving to lose them. so, a few minutes later rob walks in the door with a kind of worried look on his face. he said, "does audrey drive a white jeep?" me: "i don't know, why?" rob: "well, there was this white jeep following me down all the streets. i got a little bit worried, so i started turning. they kept following me, so i just raced off and lost the jeep." me (rolling on the floor laughing): "rob! i'm sure it was them, they said they were going to follow you here." rob: "oh, i didn't know that. i just got freaked out."
classic rob!
and then, in walk audrey and cathy. upon hearing the story, cathy said, "rob, you just one-upped yourself."

and since every story needs a visual, here is the caricature that rob got drawn of himself the next day at the gateway. (ok, maybe ryan and i convinced him to get it, but he still forked over $12 for it!)
