Zobbi is the name of our van. Because the state of Colorado handed me a license plate that began ZOB. Diane and I worked surprisingly hard to come up with a name that used those first letters. I like it, even though it is admittedly kind of a stupid name. I realize that at my age, I am trying to learn to be kind of stupid. I don’t want to cross the line between “kinda” and truly stupid or offensive. I like to think that I finally have the wisdom and perceptiveness to see the difference. I – of course – am wrong, as Diane will patiently point out. I cross that line far too often. The main benefit of having this name is that now I do get write a blog called Zob Stories.
