Willie and me
Monday I worked 15 hours straight. I did the morning show, just for fun and because we needed someone to work with Sam while the producer was out of town. I did that show and then just continued to work straight through the day, through my show, and into the night. Crazy. Still didn't get it all finished and I went in to do more on Christmas Eve.
Today I went in for the morning show again. Not because I had to be there or they needed me, but because Willie Nelson was there making his annual visit. I was there last year and was across the hall while he was there. I met him but wasn't in on the show. Today I was in a room with Willie Nelson and five other people for two hours and was there to hear him laugh and talk and play his guitar and sing. It was an amazing experience, especially when he would laugh and turn and wink at ME. I'm high right now. No, I did NOT get the opportunity to get high WITH Willie, but, Lord, you know I would have if he'd offered. That would be a story to tell.
I'm just home on a "lunch break" right now, but had to get a little of this giddiess down.
