I should probably add this series to my backlog of posts to do someday.<br /><br />I've met a number of famous people, but I have this thing about asking for autographs. Probably doesn't matter though since I'm not sure what happened to the autographs I have gotten. But it's cool to know that you've been in the presence of someone famous and shook their hand.<br /><br />If you ever do have that winning lottery ticket, please send it my way. I'm sure I could find plenty to use the money on.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://wrotebyrote.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Wrote By Rote</a><br />An A to Z Co-host blog<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587309093892894426.post-31982290527714784642014-03-17T11:54:04.037-07:002014-03-17T11:54:04.037-07:00I only love one person with that surname...Cleopat...I only love one person with that surname...Cleopatra Jones!<br /><br />But I <i> do</i> have a basketball jones...DiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587309093892894426.post-45617471401407993602014-03-17T11:09:36.824-07:002014-03-17T11:09:36.824-07:00I stand corrected...

I’ve really never gone beyond that.<br />I gotta be honest-I was thinking fiction when I answered the book question, so the Bible never entered my mind.<br />The whole “have it all” thing always seems to involve people acquiring things so that other people will perceive them in a certain way. I would be concerned if someone were to judge my behavior and find it lacking, but if I am judged by others for my ‘stuff,” I could not really care less. I think if people get to the point where they act out of their own motivation (tempered by an awareness that there are others on this ball of mud), they have a better chance at happiness…and that’s having it all!<br />While I normally have no interest in blogging awards, I did like these questions!<br />DiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587309093892894426.post-75457775792895263462014-03-17T09:58:59.868-07:002014-03-17T09:58:59.868-07:00I almost forgot...don't you remember when we s...I almost forgot...don't you remember when we saw Booker T, I said "I saw your sister here a few months ago," and he replied, "she's not my sister, she's my fourth cousin's sister-in-law by marriage from his first wife twice removed."<br /><br />No racist here!DiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587309093892894426.post-74755188647064184412014-03-17T09:48:17.207-07:002014-03-17T09:48:17.207-07:00I ended up deciding to go at the last minute-there...I ended up deciding to go at the last minute-there were two seats in the front available on the day of the show and my friend Lisa wanted to go, so it was kind of her birthday present. Good thing, because she made us late and we missed a couple of songs, one of which may have been "Chuck E"-either that or she did not play it.DiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587309093892894426.post-49358067623984825332014-03-17T07:35:44.334-07:002014-03-17T07:35:44.334-07:00Excellent answers. I can tell you actually put som...Excellent answers. I can tell you actually put some thought into them.<br /><br />When I was working at St. Martin's Press in NYC I met some famous people. For example, G.Gordon Liddy wrote a book while I was there and came to visit the office before his book tour. I met him. I know he wouldn't remember me, but still... There were others, too, and they happened pretty much the same. I was a lowly publicity assistant, so not really worth "knowing." hahahaha.<br /><br />Why does it not shock me that you have paid ridiculous amounts of money for Todd tix??? I used "ridiculous" because what that sum means to different people varies considerably. If you don't have much extra money for things like concerts, "ridiculous" could be fifty bucks. You've just blown your entertainment money for the month. Or it could be more. I paid a "ridiculous" amount of money for me a few years ago to see Train at Chastain Park in Atlanta. We were living in GA then. I love that venue and I love Train, so... I agree about The Beatles and a living room concert. I don't think they'd do it for $3,000.00 even if they were all still alive... You know inflation and all that. (I'd have to win the lottery... Ha!)<br /><br />One of the personality traits I like best about you is how thoughtful and considerate of others that you are. Yeah, that comes through even on here. I really appreciate that email you sent me when I didn't post on Thursday a few months ago. Hadn't posted much at all because I was on vacation. Very thoughtful:)<br /><br />Only people who like to read fiction appreciate the book question. I am assuming you referred to The Bible and not Green Eggs and Ham...<br /><br />It's funny but I don't play the lottery either. I love to gamble, but I appreciate the more interactive kind....<br /><br />I think very few people feel like they "have it all." It requires really knowing yourself and your priorities. The truth is that we don't actually want it all, but we end up with a bunch of crap we don't really care about and spend time nurturing it. That isn't conducive to feeling like you "have it all." People who feel that way know what they want and spend their time on those things.<br /><br />I used paranormal because it includes what people commonly refer to as miracles. Something amazing that you know must be God. I think most "paranormal" events are God interceding in our lives. That person who brakes suddenly even when the light is green and avoids getting sideswiped by a truck... yeah, that's paranormal and it is also God whispering in our ear (make that shouting in our ear!).<br /><br />I think you decided on appreciating the good things... big and small. Excellent. We can learn a lot from our pets.<br /><br />Yep. Fear keeps most of us from achieving our dreams. <br /><br />I am learning to appreciate mornings. They used to be terrible for me. I always felt like crap. For as long as I can remember. The crap turned into migraines for the last ten years. As my migraines crank up and down (which means that sometimes I actually feel okay), mornings are improving. Whew. Now I love sitting and catching up on my blogs and drinking my coffee. Or looking outside and watching the world come to life. It is almost always a beautiful day. Not today, mind you. Woke up with the worst migraine I've had in a long time (took many hours to bring it down to bearable) and it is stormy. Yeah, that barometer might have something to do with my dratted migraine.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!!!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587309093892894426.post-40769804638932568302014-03-17T07:29:58.624-07:002014-03-17T07:29:58.624-07:00>>...

At the Arizona Musical Instrument Museum, the artists usually come out for signings afterwards Some of those I've met are Todd Snider, Al Stewart, Maria Muldaur, Rickie Lee Jones and Booker T. Jones (although I don't think they are related).</i><br /><br />First of all... you saw Rickie Lee at the AMIM but you didn't notify me of the upcoming concert? You beeztard! (as my Pa would have put it).<br /><br />Secondly... why are you assuming that Rickie Lee Jones and Booker T. Jones are not related? Rickie and Booker both have two syllables; Lee and T rhyme; and the last name in both cases is Jones.<br /><br />You are obviously a racist who can't accept the fact that a White woman and a Black man can be related. Shit, I'll bet you even hate the Black half (i.e., the "Left" half) of Barack Obama!<br /><br />Don't talk to me anymore! I'm going to bed with my Rickie Lee Jones CDs.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T. McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249125637725791567noreply@blogger.com
