TO DO
  • I always wondered if I had it in me to do 15 miles in a day. The answer is, an emphatic sort of. — Robby
  • It smells like pad thai, but it tastes like oatmeal. — Robby
  • Beat briskly for two minutes… I don’t know if I have it in me to beat it for 2 minutes. — Robby
  • I can taste that campsite though, boy… I can taste it right in my mouth, where my taste buds are. — Robby
