Things have been a bit crazy around here this week - I am on 'trauma call' for the hospital and cover any and all trauma above the shoulders - busy busy
About our meeting... We arrived and happened to enter about the same time as the Coach. We did not get to speak to him at first. There was quite a crowd and I was worried that we would miss out. After he finished eating appetizers, my 'bird dog' aka Paige stated that she was not leaving without meeting him and proceed across the room (me running behind) to go get in his face.
He even said excuse me (thought she wanted to get by), but she said "NO, I wanted to meet you. My name is Paige Murray from Greenville". I think he thought this was funny. I came along and introduced myself and then I informed him that Paige was dying to meet him (really me). He said in that case, then we should have our picture taken. We did, and he is suppoesedly going to sign it and the Rams Club will send it to us. We talked for a few minutes about this and that and then we parted ways. He is genuinely a very nice man.
Overall, it was a great evening. The next day was even better with the victory over the WaHoos (although the game was verrry boring).
