ROB THOMAS

ROB THOMAS was in town yesterday for a private performance for Q104. He played "3am", "Lonely No More" and his current smash "Her Diamonds". Rebecca and I did Q&A between songs.

I first met Rob in 1997 and found him to be very down-to-earth and very passionate about his craft. Several years and many number one singles later, he is still the same guy. I consider him to be the best singer/songwriter of our generation.

It was also fun to follow him on TWITTER as he made his way to Cleveland. If you have a TWITTER account, follow him at "ThisIsRobThomas".

GOLF AT BRIARWOOD

My friend Dean and I have been talking about playing golf for almost two years now. Finally, on Friday, we had a chance to play. Despite his big talk and fancy equipment, he got schooled on the back nine : ) Highlights included a 30-foot birdie putt and big straight drives off the tee. After a tough start, I was 10 strokes better on the back nine. It's early in the season and a rivalry has been born.....to be continued...

TRIBE GAME vs St. Louis

My daughter Gabby was born in St. Louis. Her first baseball game was OPENING DAY at a Cardinals game, so we had to take her to see "her team" play this weekend at PROGRESSIVE FIELD... CHANNEL 5's ANDY BASKIN is a close friend to the family, so we joined him along with his daughter BRYNN at the ballpark Friday night....

TRAVEL SPRING SEASON ENDS...

My daughter Gabby's first ever travel team wrapped up the season on Sunday with a game at Madison. Gabs socred her third goal in two weeks and her team played its best game of the season. We were lucky to have her on a team with wonderful kids and great parents! Our experience this season was awesome!

Something I read Sunday morning...

"YOU ARE THAT WHICH YOU SEEK."

Since reading this Sunday morning, I can't help but think that it's so true. It has me wondering quite a bit about priorities and who and what to invest time in.

RIBS AT SCOREBOARDS!

During the summer, one of my favorite hang-outs is the patio at SCOREBOARD's in Northfield. When Dave fires up the grill, no one makes better ribs! Saturday night's re-launch of the patio was a blast! The ribs were amazing!!!
