This may be my last blog post….. I’m kidding of course, but seriously, I’m not sure there will be a post to top this one.

Thursday, Kristi and I drove to Nashville for the opening night of the Nashville Film Festival to see Rob Thomas’s “My Secret Record”. We were excited about the movie and the thought that Rob might be in the theater with us. We were surprised to find that this festival is a pretty big deal and that there was a red carpet set up for the arrival of the “celebrities.” I’m using quotes because other than Rob and his wife Marisol, I recognized only one other person – Kimberly Williams Paisley (actress & wife of country singer Brad Paisley). After seeing the red carpet and all the people standing around, I was glad I had brought my new camera and Sharpie marker just in case.

Kristi and I had fun watching people arrive and taking pictures. At some point, Matchbox Twenty guitarist Kyle Cook was behind us. So off I went with my Sharpie, but he started walking away just as I said “hey Kyle….” I got some good pictures of Rob and Kristi tried getting him to sign something at the door of the theater, but again no luck. No big deal; we were ready to watch the film. I would have been happy to come home and find this picture of Rob and me on nashtown.com:

So we went in the lobby and see Kyle again. This time he did sign my book and Kristi got a picture of him signing it:

I would have been happy to come home with Kyle’s autograph, but it didn’t end there as Rob Thomas himself was standing right behind us. I now have Rob’s autograph and this amazing picture:

If you would like to see this glorious picture in person, feel free to stop by my desk at work on Monday. I told Kristi this may replace the picture I have from her wedding. She said that was ok because she may replace the wedding picture in her office with this too!

In case you’re wondering, the film was really good.

Today has been one of those days. Everything at work today makes me want to kick myself in the head and to top it off, it’s a gloomy and wet day. When I was driving back to work from lunch in the pouring rain, I remembered that my umberella was sitting next to my desk. So guess who got wet?

Hopefully, Jeff Dunham will put me in a better mood tonight when I see him at the Capital Arts.

In case you are having a similar day, I offer this video to make you smile…

Google is so smart. If you ever need directions from New York to London, Google is here to help.

See the directions here. Make sure to notice step #23.

I admit defeat. I don’t have the time or the desire to try to create a new site. So, I’m switching back to wordpress where everything is done for me. I can always change the theme just so I can have something different.

It has been a loooooong time since my last post. I’ll try to be better, I promise.
