Last weekend, Andrea and I went on our annual ski trip to Deer Valley. At least, it's an annual trip when we're not on legitimate business of hers in the South Australian wine region.
We were having a perfectly civilized lunch at the Stein Eriksen Lodge, when whom should we hear talking to the guests at the next table, but - you guessed it - Stein Eriksen! Andrea's dad, Carol, was bold enough to ask Mr. Eriksen for a photo, and he replied stoically, "With the ladies?"
Needless to say, we obliged. If you're like some of my friends who are not into skiing, you may not want to read more about Stein in his wikipedia entry, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stein_Eriksen.
When we asked Mr. Eriksen if he was having a good day, he replied, "Anyone who complains about the conditions today needs to take up a different sport." With the great weather we had, who could disagree?
Only five short days later - another great event occurred! Thanks to Sharon, we had a group together for the Jonny Lang concert at the historic Paramount Theater right here in good old ATX (http://www.austintheatre.org/site/PageServer?pagename=Home). Ken Stein and Maica Jordan totally hooked us up for a backstage visit with Jonny after the show! OMG!!!
I asked him what his favorite song is, and he replied "Red Light." I totally agree. We love you Jonny!
How much more exciting can 2009 get?
