You look good, sis! And so happy!

Right?!?! He shows up in all the most unexpected places and I love it! (And love Lhasas too)

Gobble gobble!

I find the dancers grinding to “What Child Is This” particularly perplexing, but I’m probably overthinking it.

Mmmmm…it was a little leas about being cheesy and a little more about being appropriate for a family-friendly holiday parade. But then again, I’m getting to be an old coot. 😂

Never thought I’d cringe watching a nationally televised parade…but here we are.

Why are home chefs on social media so aggressive? So much slamming and throwing and yelling...what did that potato ever do to you?

Right? I loved Hal Ketchum so much!

Bud...you ARE Music City.

It seems I overestimated my ability to simultaneously watch an award show, document winners and performers, fix audio issues, upload interviews, pull soundbites and format a recap. Oh, this glamorous country music life.

There's none like him, for sure!

Truth!

Relatively certain everyone in Nashville's Bridgestone Arena was in tears during Brooks & Dunn and Jelly Roll's performance of "Believe." Not me though. I'm tough as.....no. No, I'm not. I'm going to go mop my cheeks now. #CMAAwards

It just takes it a minute to warm up.

Back in the old days of #countrymusic, when we all walked uphill in the snow both ways to Music Row, the great Gerry House helped write the monologues for the award shows. Oh, how I miss him.

LOVE YOU BACK, my friend!

Red carpet pro tip: Don't ask a "yes" or "no" question unless you have an immediate follow-up.

This is moderately painful.
