Last week I was “White Trash.” This week I’ve acquired two equally complimentary names: “The Pied Piper” and “SoChi's Fabulous Bastard!” Can’t determine which I love the most! ☺ More on that later.
Macon’s biggest Pot Party was a smoking success! The FIRED WORKS Preview Party was a HIT. If you didn’t make it Friday night, you missed a great time. Beer, wine, food, music and lots of fun people...…but no worries…the pottery show & sale is on through April 26th. Go check it out. Of the many terrific potters a few of my faves are Mark Knott, David Posner, Michael DeBarry, Jim Peckham & Michael Schmidt. Lots of serious talent under that one fabulous roof of the Round Building. Can I just give a shout out for a second? I must say that Beth Dunwody was the Beautiful Butterfly of the evening. Absolutely Stunning!
So, the fam went to see the Zac Efron flick “17 AGAIN” on Saturday night. The highlight was the trailor for “MY SISTER’S KEEPER.” I mean, in 3 minutes it had me crying. The evening took a turn south once the Zac Attack began. I’m just not that into predictable teen flicks….but the kids loved it. “LESS THAN ZERO” was made mention of in an 80’s flashback, so that made me happy.
What’s up with all the labels? Larry Najera called me “The Pied Piper” this week. The following day Priscilla Esser called me “SoChi’s Fabulous Bastard.” I took them both as compliments, is that wrong?
Now the peacocking matador in me loves this, but … Can a “Fabulous Bastard” still be a “Pied Piper?”
The Pied Piper of Hamelin and I have had common things happen to us. And I have taken a Rat out…but what about the children? MY children SPECIFICALLY. This complimentary “title” made me start thinking what kind of Pied Piper am I Really? For my kids, I mean. They tell me, as all kids tell their dads, “you’re the best dad in the world.” But I know it isn’t so. I don’t spend enough time with them. Do they really buy-in to what I’m selling? I couldn’t even talk them into going to the Second Sunday Jazz in the Park on Sunday. My now well-known eBlast is the reason for the Pied Piper title in the first place..but my kids don’t read that. So it’s up to me to connect with them.
Yesterday we decided to begin “FAMILY DAY” every Sunday. Some kind of family activity that we all do together…Bowling, Picnics, Tennis, Braves game, Museums, playing at the River Walk, etc….something fun that we do together. LOVE. LOVE will Keep Us Together!
