Steven says "Hello"
As some of you may already know, Aerosmith has been and always will be my favorite Rock band of all time. Hence the title of my blog " A Little South of Sanity" which was the title of one of their 1998 albums. The title also seems to fit marriage in general so I stole it for our blog title.
Due to circumstances beyond my control. Mainly a cancelled flight from Phoenix to Boston and my plane in Dallas being given to a group of people flying to Miami to catch a cruise ship. It took me 18 hrs to get to Boston on Sunday.
At 12:30 a.m as I am standing at baggage claim and chatting with Tina on the phone, I look next to me and tell Tina, "Guess who I am looking at right now?"
Strangely, I wasn't overly excited about it. It must have been due to lack of sleep or the long trip. I did walk over to Steven and I said "Hello Steven!" and shook his hand and chatted for a second. I then asked him if he wouldn't mind saying hello to my wife who was on the phone. Steven smiled as he took my cellphone and said; "Hello Wifey" and chatted with Tina for a minute. I thanked him, shook his hand again and went on my way to find my bag.
It wasn't until the next morning that I realized just how cool that was and how cool he was to take the time to talk to Tina on the phone, which thrilled her and kept her from sleeping the rest of the night.
That was the beginning of my Boston adventure. The rest of my week was informative and fun, but that was hard to beat. I will post a few pics that I took in my next post. Most all of my night shots didn't turn out at all, but I'll see what I have.

You're a punk! That's all there is to it.
Steven is AWESOME!
Once, I was at a Rolling Stones concert in SF and was staying at the 4 Seasons. I had gotten food poisioning the night before and was SICK as a dog when I met Steven in the elevator. I said, "Don't get too close to me, I'm soooo sick" and he sympathized with me - I explained that it was the backstage food at the RS concert. He laughed. For some gawd-awful starstruck groupie reason, I tilted my little head and blinked saying, "Do you have anything to make me feel better?"
He said "Yes." and he put his arms around me and rocked me back and forth in a sweet hug, then planked a big one on my cheek. "There." he said, "Now you'll feel better."
I threw up what was left of my guts not 5 minutes later - however - I will never forget how kind he was. I really appreciated how human and approachable he seemed. Now I'm a fan too!
