"For What It's Worth"

The day started off with a police officer asking if we had seen a man in a camouflage jacket running or walking nearby...  Nope, sure didn't... 

Had lunch with my girlfriend, Jennifer, and checked out Miss Priss Boutique here in LC.  It's a cute place with lots of fun prom dresses that made me wish I had some random excuse to dress up.  Makes me think of 'Yes Man'... "Every pretty girl deserves to go to a ball."  A reason to play dress up would be such fun.  I'm thinking I may do it soon anyway; just for kicks. 

Read an article about an 84 year old man who took a wrong turn after eating at a 'Mom and Pop' corral and got lost in the Arizona desert.  Little old men have a special nook in my heart and I must say this article was the best piece of news I have read in a while.  Apparently, his car and cell phone ran out of juice so he was stuck there in the desert for 5 days.  He said he was scared at night and he had to use his floor mats to keep himself warm.  Some campers/hikers found him on the 5th day and he kissed them...  He kissed them.  As I was reading the article, I couldn't help but wish that I could wrap my arms around him.  I would ask him to tell me the story over and over again.  I thought of my papaw.  My papaw always had a story.  Always.  I missed him so much in the moments after I read this article...  So very, very much.

I saw the list of bands for Bonnaroo.  Most of which I could do without.  There were a few bright spots though;  Primus, Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young, Bootsy Collins, Old Crow Medicine Show....  I wish safe and happy fun to all of you who will get to experience their raw awesomeness.

Oh, and I finished the fourth Harry Potter book!  It was crazy good!

The weekend is nearing which means we get to enjoy our Valentine from my beautiful parents.  A cabin in the mountains for all of us to get away from the norm and enjoy each other's company.  I couldn't be more ready!
