  • Alright, out of the fricking blue CBS News 'the Early Show' calls me Monday morning

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Seriously. I was recovering from my once a year drink-a-lot fest and didn't really get my brain in gear until I had talked to her about our company www.aquagoggles.com for a good 15 minutes. Then I snapped out of my stupor and realized 'HOLY SHIT!'

There's a small segment on their show Thursday morning between 8-9am. It's about swimming essentials or accessories or something. Whatever, I sent her Goggles for herself and the show and thought 'Great, free frickin advertising!'

My Dad thinks bigger. He said I should go down and hand out free goggles to anyone that wants them. Haha I jest, seriously they aren't going to go for that. He says what can it hurt to ask?

They agree to it. Fuck me.

So I'm going to New frickin York tomorrow for a whole bloody day to be in the audience Thursday morning. I'll be the dumbass in the Khakis, striped oxford blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up, glasses and a stupid look on his face. I'm hoping the camera doesn't scan the audience. At least I'm comfortable in the knowledge that if I just turn sideways I'm well neigh invisible do to the fact I'm 2 dimensional.

So the Early Show. At least it's not Oprah.</div>

Nice man, very funny. He laughed when I said 'Hello Mr. Carradine' said only his dad is called that. So I quipped that at least I hadn't called him Sir.

Damn! I was just bantering with David fucking Carradine! New York rules. I'm just a minutes walk from Trump tower. I'm going to go eat and test this insane luck....</div>
