Tips to avoid Spring cleaning injuries

Hangin' with John Rich!

As embarrassed as I am to say it, I'm not a huge country & western fan. Shocking, seeing how I've lived my whole life in Oklahoma and Texas. Needless to say, I had the privilege of meeting country superstar John Rich this weekend in downtown Dallas.

He's got to be one of the coolest dudes I've ever met! Talk about humble beginnings. John was born in Amarillo, Texas and was raised living in a trailer park. He began writing music at age 18. He was telling me that he started off with nothing but a guitar, a pen and paper, and a dream. He actually wrote over 500 songs before anyone would give him the time of day. There's lesson #1: NEVER GIVE UP!

 I think the thing that impressed me most about him is his patriotism and dedication to the United States of America. He carries with him in his back pocket and miniature version of the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights. He said he's read that thing hundreds of times. What a great tip!

 Needless to say, his hard work and determination has paid off. Ready for the biggest shocker? After meeting him, you may actually see me browsing on iTunes under the heading "Country & Western"! Here's to you, John Rich!
