Snow!

Jag and I made it to Denver and back by about 2. His suit looks great on him as does Ty’s as both boys are tall and slim. Around 4 I left with Marty and James for the NRA banquet. We arrived about 5 and headed in. It was full of ranchers, cowboys and local people who all support the 2nd Amendment. From probably 8 to 100 all ages were there. The Cub Scouts from Jackson County presented the colors (our flag) and assisted during the auction. We all stood and said the Pledge of Allegiance and then there was an opening prayer. The food was also really good, prime rib! Just the way things should be but as mostly ignored, especially in the city.

Our host was pretty lubricated (almost drunk) when he arrived and it didn’t take long for him and the other fella at our table to be in that stage where everything they did made us laugh. Marty, James and I don’t drink so it was quite the contrast. Soon some people recognized James which always happens wherever we go somewhere and most were respectful. James doesn’t do pictures which everyone asks for. The second guy at our table (there were only 5 of us) halfway through the event said to James, “someone just told me you’re the guitar player for Metallica?” to which James said I’m the lead singer and then Brett with a buzzed look said, “well no shit”. It was pretty funny. We managed to get out right before things got weird as I could tell our host was at the tipping point. It’d be great I guess to be a mega star like James (he’s as famous as one of the Beatles or maybe more) but there is a downside. I told him on the way home how well he handles people which he does.

Anyhow the three of us had lots of fun and laughs. Marty kept saying he didn’t really know his client that well and kept apologizing but it was ok. Meanwhile Lori, Melanie and Jen went to Matsu for sushi. They too had fun. The only bummer of the night was none of us won a gun?? I thought for sure we’d win something. We think it was rigged as one guy named Dexter won three, ha. Oh well it was for a good cause. That’s it, have a great day, God Bless.
