Mistaken Identity

All of these years I thought Glenn Eure --- renowned artist & OBX character----LOVED me! What a shock it was to learn that it simply was a case of mistaken identity....that's right....today on a random radio station in Little Rock the announcer shared one of the off-the-wall featurettes that are supposed to be funny....but this time....well, it wasn't....it was heart-breaking....

...seems that there is someone somewhere up North.....like Minnesota....or maybe Wisconsin....who's parents had a funky sense of humor....named her after the pop culture things that were important to them when she was born......

Marijuana (yes, that's what is on her birth certificate) Pepsi Jackson (for Michael, of course)......

.....and here's the kicker......her last name.....it is SAWYER.......

so all that time that Glenn told EVERYONE that I was 'Marijuana Sawyer"......and introduced me to Rotarians and others from all over the world as if I was special.....he actually had me confused with someone else.....

Bummer!

The Rat Pack Is Back!

Yesterday was an interesting day......one random thing after another.....I am saving some of it for a later post......however, in the midst of it.....I was offered two tickets to last nite's performance of THE RAT PACK IS BACK at the Robinson Center.....& since this was a show I had wanted to see all along....I was THERE!!!!

It's a tribute program to Frank Sinatra (he's IN CHARGE), Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. & Joey Bishop........and the "rats" are backed by a great 12-piece orchestra. Written by Sandy Hackett (son of Buddy Hackett who was an associate of the original Rat Pack), the opening features the voice of Buddy Hackett as God sending these four men back to earth for "one more show!"

Great music.....slapstick comedy which included current topical jokes....and fine performances all around!

All in all it was a memorable evening....and lots & lots of fun.....if you get a chance to go this week....just DO IT!!!!

.....most likely you won't come across your tickets the same way as me.....& that's ok.....it was part of the fabric of my day yesterday.....just grab a friend who loves to laugh & is willing to sing along with the ole favorites....that's what I did.....and enjoy the show!

.....live life in the NOW!!!

Reminder......

In a random conversation over the weekend.....

He said: "Don't forget......I am ONE in 10 Million...."

Well, he didn't say it in exactly those words.....but still he said IT!

I smiled.
