I think he has a secret desire to be in show business...

Michael spends about an hour every morning commuting to his office, so he has lots of time to listen to the radio. Over the past few years, he has called in several times to the morning show on our local Christian radio station (http://www.thefishatlanta.com/) whenevever he's had an opinion to share about their daily topic. My favorite time was when he called in to give his thoughts about American Girl dolls! Usually, I'll get a call from him saying, "Quick-- turn on the FISH" and I know that he's called in and wants me to hear him on the radio. I used to get excited thinking that maybe he had won tickets to something fun (which he actually has once) as they do a lot of call-in giveaways. Now I know it's just about me sharing in his 5 minutes of fame! Which is fine, too... though some more free tickets would not be unwelcome!

I got the call this morning at 6:53 AM and was able to get the radio on in time to hear his discussion with Kevin and Taylor about our trip. Seems as though they were talking about great family vacations and Taylor mentioned how her family once took an RV to Colorado when she was a girl and what a special memory that was for her. Michael called in, told them about how we were going to RV across the country with kids and parents and then asked Taylor for tips how to keep family harmony along the way! She suggested spending as much time OUT of the RV as possible-- going on picnics, hikes, etc. Then they asked if we would be interested in taking their "Traveling Pants" with us and taking pictures with the pants in our various locations to post on their website! Apparently, they sent these pants out last summer on listener's vacations and they went to Egypt and I don't know where all else... So the pants are supposed to being sent to us and hopefully will arrive before we leave so that we can participate in their version of the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" (which, coicidentally has a movie sequal this summer if you are a fan: http://sisterhoodofthetravelingpants2.warnerbros.com/ ).

So be on the lookout for 'pants pictures' on the blog!
