Actually LOL'd a little at "Well, this was a bad idea"
I had a friend like that growing up, during holiday vacation I went by his house having not seen him in many years -- turns out this former goofball is now a volunteer Sheriff's deputy and the police chief for a little (200 pop.) town just down the road from his house.
This was a charming read! my favourite paragraph is this
There are just too many examples of this. Too many stories. It would’ve been reason enough to just follow him around all the time if I knew he was going to do things like this. The fact that he truly was such a great friend was icing on the cake.
Hey, I know that guy - In fact, I've dated him! (Truth be told, he's actually a big geek, but very sweet. ;)
And, yes, you're right, the world does need more Troys. Great tales - I bet you could devote a small book! I was giggling almost entirely through this whole piece. XD
What a wonderful way to use the prompt, wonderful memories shared so we were there watching him with trepidation at each of his antics. Well done. Very well done. (=

That Troy-like twinkle is still in his eyes, tho.
