Tater Salad at the Taj Mahal

Saw Ron White last night at the Taj in Atlantic City. Ron White is one funny cat.

Very little material was familiar... and his new stuff was rock solid.

It really makes you think about commitment and dedicating yourself to your craft.

The sum total of failure this guy must have had before he made it to a point where he could make a living must have been amazing. His big break came after Jeff Foxworthy broke through, and took Ron along with him to open his shows. Which seems to sort of be the catalyst for the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour" series. You really dont know when/where/how the tipping point will come about, but if you keep at it, sometimes it happens.

We're waiting for our tipping point here at www.avawine.com . Maybe we can open a show or two for Larry the Cable Guy. Or a publicity stunt of some type. I'm giving it major thought.

Greetings from Augusta National

Now, before all you fanatics get excited, I havent yet met Tiger Woods. Although it might happen. Tomorrow night I'm going to an event hosted by Jim Nance, which promises to be fun.

I'm sure the food will be good. Both Tiger and Jim would have to come over to me and introduce themselves, as I'd sooner stick a fork in my eye than join the flock of freaks who hound celebrities and athletes.

I'm down here with Maybach working the event, and so far things are going fairly well. I drew high card and scored the master bedroom in the house we're renting (local people rent their homes out during the Master's week, schools coincide their spring breaks so kids can go too).

I've only had to eat fast food once ( ok twice, but that ends today). And the weather is just about perfect. Northern Georgia is beautiful... that is not to be refuted.

I had to put to sleep my IBM thinkpad laptop. I had her for 5 years. She was a good old girl.

So this is my first blog with my new Toshiba.. it's got all kinds of cool stuff, I'm sure in 5 years I'll figure some of them out.
