A Few Thoughts on MJ

So much has been made and said over the past two weeks, that there isn't much left to be hashed-out. Despite all of his weirdness, strangeness, etc., he did have a huge impact on the music industry.

Weezy and I must have sent 100 text messages while the memorial service was being held. We were in agreement that Jermaine's 'Smile' was very moving.

This moment will go down in the annals of pop culture. For our generation, it will be our Marilyn Monroe or Elvis Presley.

Like those two icons, MJ battled addiction, only to succumb to its hold and power.

Everyone has their own opinions, but I truly feel sorry for the child who lived as a man; and the man that died a child.

R.I.P. M.J.

Finally, A New Talkie...

Auntzilla. . . . . .

I don't even know if there is such a word as Auntzilla . . . . Today is wedding day which means the last few details in to place hence Auntzilla. I have been making my Dad and Frederick study the terrace of Ramscale on the computer so when they get out there today at 4 to put the lights up they will feel like they have seen it 100 times because of all the computer scouting: that is where Auntzilla comes into play! Rachel seems so relaxed stating she isn't nervous at all. She looks amazing and so excited. Last night was a super fun rehersal dinner at the Habana Outpost in Brooklyn. We have the wedding team all lined up to report to the venue at 4:00 for last minute touches. The guests arrive at 6:00 for a little cocktail hour, the ceremony starts at 6:30 with dinner to follow. T-Money and M-loo I will keep you posted. We may be doing a little blog. T we will have to do a talky when I return we have so much to process.

TODAY

I'm super exhausted from my early morning Today Show activity. Seeing Adam Lambert and Kris Allen was super fun this morning. Adam lights up the crowd as soon as he appears has such a presence. Kris is very quiet and needs a spray tan. I can tell you they both can sing there butts off. I have been helping Kathleen and Dan answer phones at R-Family so that is why I look so official with my little headset. Matt Lauer isn't very friendly with the audience. . .maybe he is burned out, he may need a new job. Well T-money the next few days are quiet I don't have any more outings planned. I will be in my little neighborhood looking for Tim Gunn. Miss you T talk to you soon.

"trifecta" plus one

Yesterday was a big day for Coach A. . . . . I was texting from the dinner table last night which is a rule violation. The reason for the texting is the people sitting next to us having dinner: John Bonjovi, Richy Sambora and Kevin Bacon it was a super fun activity. Let me tell you they are all still very attractive men (even if they are the long haired girl bands). Another super highlight was meeting someone who's friends on facebook with Brian Boitano. I can't tell you how I wanted to write on his wall! He has some great skating pictures and I'm told he is a very nice man which made it more special. Well I will keep you posted if I have anymore celebratity sitings! Get the vote out on GFtrib.com click sports and vote for Kristin Albrecht!! CAT WRAP!

It's Kris!

...well, with Weezy hiding in bathroom stalls and painting the Big Apple red, I sit in darkness (lamp burnt out) at work, awaiting the next exciting text. I can comment that my choice from the beginning, Kris, won AI last night. I will certainly buy his first CD. He reminds me of a modern day James Taylor. Spring has finally sprung in Bozeman, thank god. Now, it's ball season and trying to keep 13 9-10 year-olds focused for two hours. We have, however, developed an outstanding 'Rally Bird' act. This entails the guys turning their ball caps inside-out, and flapping their wings while running down the third base line (i'll try to get video) for good luck. We're 1-4, but have the best rally bird routine in the Gallatin Valley.

Wedding Planner to NYC

Yes T-Money I'm actually blogging!!! I'm watching Idol, trying to pack for NYC, checking e-mail and now blogging. It has been a crazy few weeks and now I'm looking forward to getting on a plane heading to the city to finish the last minute plans for Rachel's wedding. It is always an adjustment ending the season thinking what I could have done differently etc. etc. What I need to work on for next year. It will be great to get out of Bozeman for a bit. I will certainly miss T-money but we will now be blogging everyday processing the days activities. Stay tune for wedding and NYC activities. I hope M-Loo checks in as well.
