Hello my fine friends, very nice to see many of you in Boston.
I feel I must share the story with you.
After my wife and I arrived in Mass, after 11 hours of traveling (thanks again Northwest Air for not resolving your labor dispute!), we headed towards our hotel, sans luggage (thanks again NOrthwest Air!!!) when my cell phone rang....with an area code that I know is from Boca Raton, FL.....it seems the impossible was going to happen.
We were able to arrange all of the last minute security details. Much like a stones secret gig, we had to get jb into Boston with less than 24 hours notice to the public....we were successfull, very few of us knew (Joey was the mastermind!).
jb had informed us that we all had dinner reservations at the Bristol Room at the Four Seasons. I had a black dress shirt (custom made to fit a big/tall man), extra long tie, pressed B and L slacks, and polished black shoes on, while my wife was dressed stunningly in her beautiful maternity wear. (thanks to no rain, a fetus protector was not needed). We valet parked our BLack SUV (tinted windows) at the Four Seasons and rushed past those fans who would find themselves on the outside looking in while we worked the room. The Four Seasons did not want loitering to occur near their doors.
Before we took our table, jb's law partner met us at the bar and recommended a nice scotch for myself (he is very talented in choosing scotch) and a decafinated beverage for my wife. jb hit the room, we greeted (firm handshake and shoulder pat)and headed for our table. We were joined by Lady Jane and countless others who had stopped by to receive their greeting, by this time, word was out that the Pug and jb were working the room. We ordered our dinner, I had the Filet with Asparagus, baby red potatoes, and artichoke hearts, jb had the same, and my wife had a seafood pasta dish. I must say that the Filet could not hold a candle to MOrtons or Gibsons in Chicago, but it was very good.
As we were finishing our meal, Blondie Chaplin made his way to our table and jb and I greeted him with a firm handshake and a warm smile. A couple of drinks later we headed back to our hotel to get some rest after a long day of travel to prepare for the Pour House.
Many thanks to jb for his hospitality and for dinner, we hope to repay the courtesy if security arrangements can be worked out and we can greet again this tour!
below is a picture of us with Carlthelobsterman from SHidoobee:
for the record though, our seats were closer to the stage than jbs!
all that was missing was our baby joey! |

What's up with jb's bandana? I suspect it was to tame the Jew-fro. Was it humid? Or are bandanas back in style? |

I lost 20 lbs. I wasn't even trying ... The older I get the longer things hurt and the harder it is to say no to that second slice of pie!
Voodoo, you carry your weight well, and you don't make any bones about it. For that you have my respect.
As a kid I was extremely skinny. I was 6 foot at 13 and barely breaking the 100 lb mark. I got razzed and felt ashamed. I was awkward around girls and hated taking my shirt of to go swimming in the summer. It took me years to become comfortable with it. Self confidence in our body, no matter how we look, is a really big deal. It's I ronic that now I'm want to lose weight that 25 years ago, I wanted to put on... |

I was only given one body to work with, and it is my job to get the most out of it! Many dont realize that "skinny as a rail" folks have the same problems that big/tall men do...(think the national uproar over the Olsen twins weight loss) |

Tell me about it .......................................
As a kid I too was Extremely skinny , but as soon as I took me first Lil' Baby Steps in the rice paddies of the Mekong Delta ( circa August , 1967 ) , I began to realize that being quite thin was an advantage in the torrid heat and humidity that was the jungles of " THE NAM " .
You see Poi Dog , my favorite phrase in life is " How Many Days you short , Man " and I ain't talking about jonesin' or any serious ' twitching ' ....................no my California living pal , " Fifty Days and The Wake Up -- Pause for the Cause -- and then I'm a GONE MUTHERFU##A " was your young Joeykins' manta during those endless days of " humpin' " all night in the bush whilst the rain be pissing on ya's throughout the wee hours of the morning when you got nothing to look forward to but the day when ........................................................................ *********** END TRANSMISSION *************

YES!! Thank You Pug. Finally someone who acknowledges that skinny people can have problems too. I am skinny. But I'm also tall (which gives the perception of being even skinnier). And I have big feet  . Try to find nice clothes and shoes that fit me. Not gonna happen. Jeans are always too short, tops are always too wide, women shoes are too small.
And not to mention all the remarks I get about how skinny I am, do I eat enough, blahblahblah! And I do eat enough, I eat heaps of fatty, sweet, unhealthy food like the next gal. Mind your own business you annoying 'eat some more, go ahead' people!  .
Glad to get that off my chest.
**Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a family-sized bag of potatoe chips to finish (BBQ flavour).

I understand you. I'm too tall for the media of my country. 1.97 cms.
People look at me in an awesome way! With a kind of "Oh my God!" face.
To fly in a regular seat is a problem to me too! And some Levi's, and the hotel rooms beds, etc, etc.
I think that the little secret is learn to live with ourselves.
Thank you for my therapy session

Whatever. He looks handsome. Ron Jeremy is short, hairy, and not attractive. JB is tall, dark, and handsome. I think you're jealous - THAT is unattractive.
If JB were single, I would be in Boca in a second. |

Relax. I said in THAT photo
I realize jb is a handsome, dashing, strikingly good looking, rich, powerful, confident, masculine, self-made Jewish power attorney
