Oh, i almost forgot the decaf story. rainey went to get me and pete two decaf coffees...., when they came out, peto made the joke of "i wonder if these are double decaf"...so i decided to go in and ask the lady if they were double decafs......the moment i said that, the lady looked at me and said that they were infact caffinated coffees......this was at around 10:30 P.M (if we wouldn't have been joking about that, peto and i would have been up till the wee hours of sunday morning pulling our hair out...(wait a minute, peto doesn't have hair..LOL)..I guess it never hurts to joke around a little...) towards the end of the night, we met two really cool guys that were just hanging out.....(another Ryno) and a (dano)...yes, their real names are ryan and dan. i gave ryno #2 the opportunity to come up and jam on the gtr. he and peto did a really cool blues number...."good job ryno #2" it was cool being in the audience and seeing ya do your thing....keep it up! And dano......this guy was too cool....he noticed my "Magical Gtr" was sitting on the ground up against a chair and asked if i had another gtr holder....i said no. so he ran out to his gtr and gave me one of his....yes, he gave it to me. thanks to dano for that gift....that was so awesome. in closing, tonight just reminded me that their is a lot of love around, we just have to open our hearts and minds to the idea of love, hope and inspiration....if we do, it'll be there right in front of our smiling faces....yes....it's all around!!. love ya lots....hurry and reserve your tickets, only about 20 seats left for the "magical tour to magic mtn"....P.S listen to us being interviewed by tracy on the zone this sunday night Dec. 21st at 8:00 p.m....and don't forget to call her after you read this at 602-452-1053 and request your favorite song from RYNO!!.....and happy, happy holidays to you all! *last note i just remembered, i was pulled aside by jerri tonight and she said that the doctors think that she has lung cancer....because of her state of health, they cannot go in and do any tests so please keep jerri in your prayers. in addition to jerri, a dear friend of mine sandy has just learned that her daughter has been diagnosed with RSD...please keep her daughter Jamie in your prayers too as she fights this courageous battle with pain on a daily basis.........peace, light & love.....ryno.............."So I live my life one day at a time today!" - (lyric from my life)
