So basically, you haven't done any of them?

Barbara said...

Huh? I've done a lot of them, surprisingly. You're just blind! LOL

Barbara said...

Hey, Mike...I think Fish Man also counts as an accent! LOL! Where has Tunisia Man gone? I miss him.

The highlighted ones show now that you've changed your format

I was going to leave some witty comment and now I've forgotten completely. Yeah, not quite caught up on my sleep yet.

Wasn't it Garth Brooks (not Barth Grooks as I originally typed... need sleep...) that you followed around for a summer?

While I've seen Garth Brooks twice (he puts on an amazing concert), there was one summer that my sister, a co-worker of mine and I followed Tim McGraw everywhere. My years are beginning to blur together but I think it was in 1995. It was right about the time that I LIke It, I Love It came out. How many times did we see him...3 or 4? I don't remember. We saw him once at the Peoria Civic Center, once at the Bloomington Sale Barn (I think they auction animals there) and once at the Illinois State Fair.
