I have been using my writing time to write stuff other than blogs (blasphemy, I know) so let me use today to update both my blogs. Tomorrow, I'll most likely be back to writing but I'll try to get some blogging out as well. I'll probaby have to break the cop stories into bite size pieces.
The husband of the lady that Mammoth and I did CPR on called a couple of days ago to say that his wife was doing good. I wasn't in the office when he called but he left a message to thank us. I passed the info on to Mammoth because it's nice to hear. Not just that she lived and is doing good (that part is great) but just hearing. Usually you send these people off to the hospital and that's the last you hear of it. It's good to hear how things ended up.
Ronnie Milsap played out here on Friday night. I had heard of him before but didn't know what songs he did. When they announced that he has had 40 #1 songs, I was pretty sure that I would have heard something that he has done. I was right. I can't name them now because I have already forgotten. Look it up on the internet if you are curious. I can't do all the work for you.
He had an impersonator with him that did a pretty darn good Jack Nicholson impression from A Few Good Men and then took the character back in time to play Eddie Haskel from Leave It To Beaver.
He mentioned to the audience that Trace Adkins was going to be playing the following night. Someone in the audience yelled, "You kick Trace's butt, Ronnie." Ronnie said, "We'd have to turn out the lights to even the odds. Trace is a big man."
He wasn't kidding, either. Trace Adkins is probably 6'7" or so. Maybe more, maybe less. It's hard to judge down where I'm at. He said he doesn't work out much anymore but you can tell that he used to.
Unlike Ronnie, I had never heard any of Trace's songs but he does have a cool ability. He is able to cast a spell that makes women shake their butts. I wonder if that's something that you can put on a resume. The women absolutely love him and I had several tell me that Trace has a nice butt. Enough of them told me, that if I'm ever asked, I'll be able to answer in confidence, "Why yes, Trace does have a nice butt." Near the end of the show, he cast the spell on the women. Instead of saying, "Abracadabra," he sings, "Honky Tonk, Badonkadonk." Instantly, hips start gyrating. Cool.
After the show, he went to his bus until most of the fans had left then he came back in to visit with our stage crew. I see all types come through here. Some of the entertainers won't have anything to do with anyone at all. Others, like Trace, act like they are just normal people.
In other news, Rhiia Fael mentions something to me the other night. I think she did it just to play with my mind. It has worked. V called me to stop by and work my magic. I can't make women shake thier hips like Trace but I do have a way of putting people at ease and making them smile when things aren't going just right. V calls me the White Mage which is a partial refence to a book called the Color Code.
I walk in, V and Rhiia say hi, and then without any introduction, segue, foreshadowing, or warning, Rhiia says, "Polyphasic sleep." She may have cast a spell on me with those words. I had never heard the term before so she explained it to me. It's when you don't sleep at night and instead just take naps around the clock. Interesting. Interesting concept and interesting that she cast a spell on me.
I did some reading about it yesterday and the idea intrigues me. I already sleep in two shifts per day. I sleep for a few hours when I get home from work at night and then I have a nap when Trey has a nap. Biphasic as they say. I'm not so sure that I want to go around saying that I'm bi but there it is. I am.
I haven't been able to get the idea out of my head and so tomorrow I'll probably do a longer post on the topic. I better get my Success Warrior Blog updated before it's nap time.
