today's lunch

OK. So that is how many of the conversations about my day goes. Today was different. I even called home to tell her about my lunch. Today I had lunch with the one, the only, the legend, George Jones. Well, I didn't really have lunch with him as much as he sat at the table next to me and we struck up some conversation. I will say that we were closer than I have been to people at other restaurants with big booths. We do live in a city with many celebs and we see them out fairly often. This is the first time I have had a conversation with one. Had anyone else sat down, I probably would have just sat there and not cared, but I really like George Jones' music. His influence can be heard in many of the artists I like. It went something like this (sitting in meat & three, near the door, on a cold day):

G.J.: This place should be bigger. (That's right. He started talking first.)
T.G.: I know. It would be really great if that door was further away.
G.J.: We wouldn't be as cold that way.
T.G.: Good food though.
G.J.: I think they could have moved that wall further out more.
T.G.: With food like this they will have to be in a bigger space soon. Bacon in green beans is a wonderful thing.
G.J. (speaking to both my lunch companion and me): I like this kind of food. You guys may already know about this, but you should try "Old Glory" greens. They are seasoned just right. The best greens in a can.
Lunch companion hops in and talks about them. He has had them quite a bit before. In my head I am screaming that I cannot believe I am sitting talking to George Jones about greens!
G.J.'s wife: He is on blood thinner and has to stay away from the greens, but he cheats.
T.G.: My wife is on it too, but she cheats. Her problem is that she self medicates and figures she can just adjust her meds.

The conversation went on for a little while more. Very nice and down-to-earth folks. Normally, I would not be this excited since famous people are just people, but it is George Jones after all.

How was my day you ask? Fine.
