Exciting, Not So Exciting

Exciting - Survivor Samoa. This season has been one of the best in my opinions as opposed to the last several seasons. My buddy, Joel, turned me on to this show a while back and I got hooked when I saw Survivor All-Stars. I was beginning to get bored with the show up until this season. Russell is a guy you love to hate but I have to say he's a smart player. Finding 2 of the 3 idols with NO CLUE.

NOT Exciting - Joe Exotic-Magician. Rose called me Thursday saying they had a free magic show with animals at Concord mall where her offices are and wanted to see if I'd bring the girls so I did. As we watched, I thought to myself that this guy is one of the worst magician's I've ever seen. Maybe it's just that I'm used to amazing illusionists like Jared Hall or Danny Ray that we've had in to NMC. This guy just had no material, pizazz or stage presence plus he didn't even use animals in his presentation.

The only redeeming value from that experience was dinner with the family out at Panera. Good meal, great family, PRICELESS.
