    “Cause the Taco, the Tamale and little Nacho are the Sh*T…..
     
    We went back to my hometown of Ironton, Ohio this past weekend for the first time in a couple years. It was tense at first thought because there have been strains on the family ties that have caused us to stay away for a bit to let things simmer down. Along with a refreshing reunion with the family came a new friendship, once again, fostered by the CycleFish website.
     
    When we walked into Frogtown, a decidedly biker-ish type of establishment complete with bikini clad “beer girl” and a blowout pit, we walked back to the pin striping tent operated by Taco, a.k.a Kevin, and met face to face with a gleaming smile and warm welcome. Much like the recent meetings with fellow CF members, a strong hug and complimentary “beer-in-the-hand” welcome was the immediate ice-breaker and once again we felt in the company of new “old friends”.
     
    Everyone knows I can go on forever when emotionally charged, so I’ll try to keep this brief, but I can tell you Taco and family invited us in like they made the trip just for us and I cannot say enough for the warm, fun-loving and general ease they opened themselves to me and the Mrs. From bumping other bikes to get his pin striping on our scoots, to offering their personal truck when the rain was keeping us from meeting up with family on the other side of town, they showed the true meaning of friendship being about what you offer and not what you expect to receive. I hope we are soon in the position of reciprocating the hospitality these friends showed us during our return to Ironton and can say , once again, they are welcome in our home and in our lives whenever we have the chance to get together again.
     
    Thank you, Taco and Tamale. I look forward to having you guys counted in those I care about……
