The Big O

One might think this is going to be a story about my experience at the Vagina Monologues on Sunday night. Everyone say it with me, "Vagina!" Though it was a wonderful experience with lots of laughter and awareness, I am talking about the other Big O.

Oprah. That would be the one and only Ms. Winfrey. She was spotted in Nashville on Saturday. Yes, that would be on Valentine's Day. Dining at a posh spot? You might ask? No. On Whitebridge (not the swanky part of town by a long shot) trying to get a table at J. Alexander's. Come on O, even you need reservations on a big night like Valentine's Day.  They turned her away in essence with their 90 minute wait. I hear she was repeating over and over, "We just don't have no 90 minutes." But politely. Of course. As she was preparing to leave and out in the parking lot, the manager rushed outside and informed the Big O of a oh-so-convenient table opening. Though she and her party went back inside, it my understanding that she really wanted BBQ. Don't we all? (FYI: Nashville is where her father and step mother reside. So, there is a reason for her to be here.)

And, the normal sighting of Keith and Nicole around town on V-Day. They were hanging in their favorite area, Green Hills. A movie date if I recall.

So, here's to the Big O and her visiting my little town. Nashville will never be the same. Right.
