    Well - Few hours later and not only is this smile going nowhere for quite awhile but I'm floored to boot.

    So we live next door to a very nice hotel, had our wedding day lunch there and decided to hit it up again today after our beach time.

    Cool, casual environment - outside, breezy. We choose / sit down at our table. I look around as I'm prone to do, see what's what. Get a lay of the land, so to speak.

    Table right next to us?

    Paul McCartney.

    PAUL. McCARTNEY.

    When I told my husband, he thought I was joking about a doppleganger (which I tend to do). "Yeah, right."

    But nope, it was Paul.

    It took everything in me to refrain from thanking him and I'm glad I didn't intrude on his time and space.

    He saw and read our smiles though.

    I couldn't ask for anything more right now.

    First Ozzy and Now Sir Paul.Are you sure you and MR Hedo aren't stalkers?
    Btw- total coolness.Dude is beyond legendary.Another awesome story to tell.
    And I believe what you meant to say is we saw PAUL FUCKING MCARTNEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am fucking floating, rr. Actually got teary and it still seems surreal.

    To share it with my sweetheart? Wowow. Also called my cousin who's a bigger Beatles lover than I (we did the Beatles walking tour together in London, '99).

    And now...a few of my other favorite fellows ;)

    Any freaking day now! He is dancing to Natiruts right now, lookin like an alien tryin to bust out! Natiruts (pronounced notchyhoots) is a Brazilian reggae band that kicks ass!

    That is awesome, I am a local beard authority (lol jk) so it's good to see I am franchising out!
    I see a ton of rookie beards nowadays... You can tell the rookies 'cuz they dont know how to trim the sides and they get that round beard bald head look like wooly willy.

    I use you as a measuring stick for whether someone is a realistic, respectable "Republican" or a nutjob teaparty fanatic lol
    We need more folks like you! People who make sense and look at issues from a logical, personal perspective instead of just spouting their sides catch phrases and tag lines.

    Hedo,I was out 2 weeks ago at our favorite joint and Patriots Coach Bill Belichek and NFL networks Mike Mayock were sitting next to us with their wives(not on Mcartneys level at all but still cool).We actually hung out with them for a bit at the bar after they ate ,as we all have a mutual friend who was also there,very low key down to earth dudes and cool as shit.Some folks in the bar were star struck,and we're coming up asking for pics.You could tell they had to do that shit all the time and were polite but we're kinda annoyed by it.When the crowd thinned

    Aw, I get it! And even I know Belichek! Though I probably spelled his name wrong =)

    It's strange, isn't it - how some just add, or peel away? - another layer. I mean, they're just people but some affect so sweetly and deeply.

    And not just the famed, but also the ones who have no idea the impact they make.

    Hey, if gambo's buying, I'll take one!

    Not sure about up Brian's way, but we're supposed to get "some" rain this week too.

    Fingers crossed!

    Woohoo! Me and my angry friend can use one =)

    Getting close for you, gambs.

    Few years ago, I was on another board - sort of an offshoot of here with various members who posted in both places. There was a woman on there of whom we were so fond, she was having twins. When they were born, it was like they had a shitload of ready-made aunts and uncles.

    Kinda like how I feel about your gambino :)

    That's angry uncle rr.

    rgambs Posts: 13,576
    Thursday is the due date, but unfortunately we are thinking he might come a few days late... Becca doesn't like that thought one bit lol
    Dr. visit tomorrow, we will see if she is effacing and dilating, fingers crossed!

    I wanted to get out of work tomorrow cuz I have a bust ass day ahead of me, but it isn't looking good for that. I have plenty of bustass days so any I can miss will be nice. I need to find a way to work my brain and spare my back!
