Unconscionably, I missed the big TV event last night. I knew I wouldn’t be able to watch it live because we were having company, but I had every intention of taping it. Alas, I forgot. I listened to it on WEEK’s website this morning (the video was so jumpy, I gave up trying to watch it).

I did remember the big party afterwards, so I headed over to the Castle Patio Inn to celebrate the big unveiling. And there, I met Laura Petelle (aka “Eyebrows McGee”) and her husband, Garth Madison. We had a nice chat about how lawyers can defend people they know are guilty, how old we all were when MTV came on the air (the bar TV was tuned to VH1 which was showing the first day of MTV to celebrate their 25th anniversary), and other sundry topics. My only embarrassment was that I kept forgetting her real name. She finally gave me her card.

I felt kind of bad for Mrs. McGee, however, since I was the only one (other than her husband, obviously) to show up to her big party. Where were all you people??? 🙂

Anyway, it was very nice meeting you, Laura and Garth. My wife and I will be having you over for supper sometime soon — we’re checking our calendar (oh, and you have to promise not to make fun of our garden). In the meantime, see you online!
