New Custom Made Shirt!

Yesterday when I returned home from work I found a very nice surprise.  There was a package that contained a custom made Dr. Spo shirt.  So nice!

This is my "giraffe" shirt.  Very appropriate for me, being taller than average most of my life.  I love it!

I am already the lucky recipient of three "Spo shirts."  I wore my "parrot" shirt to the "Price is Right" TV show last year when Pat and were in Hollywood for our annual winter holiday.  I wasn't chosen to "Come on down!" last year, even though I wore my Parrot shirt (see side bar photo).  But this year I am confident I will be chosen because I will be wearing this fabulous shirt.

I am so thankful to have a friend like Dr. Spo.  

Dr. Spo, fabulous friend well over four feet tall

Let me tell you something about this wonderful man.  He's kind, generous, witty, good-looking, and smart.  He lives in Phoenix, Arizona.  He is a head shrink therapist. 

I "met" him through a link to his blog that was on my late friend "The Cajun's" blog.  I was immediately attracted to his handsome features.  Then I read his blog.  Wow, this guy is good!  In my opinion he's a better writer than many professional humor writers. I think he missed his calling.  He's as good as Dave Barry, my preeminent favorite humorist.  

Four years ago I had the good fortune to meet him in person during our first Bloggerpalooza.  I was very surprised to find that he is well over four feet tall.  In fact, he is quite tall.

As you can tell I like this man.  But you know what I really like about Dr. Spo?  He is so kind.  And he tolerates me, even with all my foibles.  He isn't one of those faint hearted "friends" who dumps me as a friend just because I did or said something immature or inappropriate.  At the Bloggerpalooza I took note that he treats all people the same.  He doesn't have favorites.

Dr. Spo is a good person and I am proud to have him as a friend.

Thank you Dr. Spo for this wonderful shirt.

Meet Dr. Spo Buffet Dinner Menu

(Double click to enlarge)

Hey Spo fans!  Here is the menu for the buffet dinner for Dr. Spo which will be held at the Inn at Canal Square in Lewes, Delaware, Saturday, March 23rd from 6 pm to 8 pm.  

The Nage Restaurant of Rehoboth Beach (and Washington D.C.) will be supplying the buffet.  The Nage has catered many events at the Inn (where I work part-time as a front desk clerk) and I can attest they are the best!  Usually I get the leftovers, this time I'll be up front (nice change folks!)  Go here for more information on The Nage Restaurant.

Based on attendance so far, the cost per person is $25.00.  That includes an open bar of white or red wine (or water or soda for those who prefer non-alcoholic liquid refreshments).  

Our "Meet Dr. Spo" event is coming along nicely folks.  Already we have four reservations at the hotel for out of state bloggers.  Several local bloggers may also attend (only Cubby has confirmed so far) for a "day trip."  

This is going to be a great get together of blogger friends folks.  Perhaps a "once in a lifetime opportunity" to meet in person that person you've been leaving comments on their blog and those who leave comments on your blog.  Hey!  How often do we get a chance to put a face to the comments?

March 23rd, 2013 may seem like a long time away but believe me folks, it will be here before you know it.  Please let me know if you plan to attend our buffet on March 23rd so we have enough food to feed everyone!

Dr. Spo, of "Spo Reflections" blog has informed me that he is initiating this "Spo Shirt Tour", only this time he will be in his Spo Shirt.  See here.

Cubby

Many thanks to Cubby for suggesting this EL GRANDE idea!

Here are the particulars folks. If you're making the trip to Lewes, Delaware call me or send me an e-mail for your hotel reservations.  I have secured a 20% discount of room rates that weekend.  We have VIP suites that sleep six.  They are a complete apartment with two full bedrooms, each with its own bath.  A living room, half bath and a deck right on the canal.  Fabulous!  Split the expenses between six (or even four) and it's not that expensive.

We also have individual rooms.  King size beds (most expensive) and queen size beds, less expensive.  Also two mini-suites that rent as one room but are actually two room.  They rent as one room because they only have one bathroom.

I'm starting to sound like a commercial so I'll just say now contact me by e-mail for more information. ronstales@aol.com.

Ron at your service!

Dr. Spo and Someone. Yes, can you believe it? SOMEONE is also coming.

will arrive on Friday, March 23rd.  Saturday, March 24th we will have a catered dinner by Nage from 6 pm to 9 pm in the Parkview Room.  I have secured the room and the booze (including Mark and Fred's champagne from their visit two years ago, it has aged nicely fellas).  For those attending the dinner the cost will be between $25 and $30 (to be determined, haven't talked to Nage yet) per person.  See here for more information about Nage.

Lewes is the first town in the first state of Delaware.  It was settled first in 1631 by Dutch settlers who were promptly wiped out by the local Indians. Subsequently the English came in and settled our lovely coastal town and the rest is history. See here for more information.

The photo above I took yesterday on my iPhone when Dr. Spo called me at the hotel to confirm these plans. Of course he did not know I took this picture so I cannot promise you that he will show up in that same alluring outfit.  

Make your plans folks.  This truly is a Once In A Lifetime Opportunity to meet the great Dr. Spo in person!
