Wednesday, June 7, 2007

A big birthday "shout out" goes to Sam Thomas on his 2nd birthday. Sam is Brandon and Sheryl Thomas' son. Brandon does some vocal directing for our cruise ships. Is Sam a cutey or what!? He is my buddy, too.

Tonight, my wife and I had dinner at her brother's house. What special people! Byron and Vanessa Massie are about the sweetest people in the world. And we met their daughter Christy's boyfriend Matt - just graduated from UVA - he's a great guy and a perfect match for Christy. Also there were Sarah Jane (my daughter Anna's first college room mate and a recent Belmont grad) and her boyfriend Craig (also a recent Belmont graduate and my daughter Eliza's orchestra student teacher - small world!). Topping it off was cousin Johnny Richards, the drummer for the band "Zoso", one of the best Led Zepplin tribute bands in the country. What a diverse group we were! Being with the Massies makes me appreciate how important families really are. Byron even invited the "cable guy" to stay for dinner when he finished repairing their Internet line. The cable guy was stunned, but that's just par for the course for Byron. Mr. Comcast opted for a 'to go" plate...boy did he miss out on the family fun!
David and Denise Patton left for Celebrity's SUMMIT today. They are spending a week on board the ship to check out the new cast. The Summit was our first solo venture in cruise ship production so it has a special place in our hearts. I hope they have time to check out some of the ports while they're in Alaska. Send us some pics, Dave!
