You are reading this and thinking how insensitive, rude or how clever that was. If you do find it funny or clever, you are probably wondering what my perception was. You want to know what I thought? I found it hilarious and comforting at the same time.
Clearly, I could have been in the NFL, but my dancing abilities kept me from running in a straight line. I did play for the Washington Redskins as a wide-receiver, but of course, I was traded to the Dallas Cowboys in '99. So, I thought he either recognized me from an ESPN news conference or he knew the perfect way to make me laugh and feel at ease. He even was charming enough to throw in a wink.
That could have gone either way. I could have been offended but it actually provided a refreshing reminder that a majority of people are committed to improving the human condition and comforting people. Humor and compassion speaks volumes!
Last night Nick & I went to the House of Blues to see Gavin DeGraw. His performance was fantastic! Music literally brings me (and everyone else) in and out of moods and emotions and is a great therapy mechanism. We both have a bit of a cold and fever but were so glad we went. The music just made us feel together. Too bad the only one who can tolerate my singing is 0ur dog!
Love,
Jen
