Welcome
Hi Gina, what’s happening?
Did you hit Chick fil A Wed?
Hi, Vision! Yes, we went to Chick-fil-A on Wednesday. It was packed at all Coast locations. The one we went to at the mall—we waited an hour to get our to-go order. It was awesome!
A local television station crew interviewed me and Keith standing in line, but I was told by friends who have televisions that our interview was not aired. Maybe I was a bit too “direct” about why we were standing with Mr. Cathy and Chick-fil-A.
The cameraman, when he was done filming, said to me, “Your voice is familiar. Are you on the radio?” HA! Maybe that’s why they canned our interview—I work for a competing media outlet just down the street from their studios.
Oh! How was your Chick-fil-A up there?
Wow that’s funny, they have a great fruit salad btw. My place was packed but got in and out in 20 minutes.
I want to thank Dr for the idea as I may not have gone otherwise. She had to drive a while to reach one.
It’s good that you went, however you found out. I wrote a column about it almost a week before the event, telling everyone to celebrate Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day and give them the biggest day of sales in their history—and that’s exactly what happened! Whoo-hoo!
You've done great with the synopses, Gina.
Glad everyone else went to Chick-fil-A, too --- and I'm not that fond of chicken.
Do you guys think the CFA response reflects a pent up energy directed against the elements promoting cultural rot and national decline that will be unleashed in November as I do? :)
Wow, you’re back?! How are you?
HA! Yes, that’s exactly what we think about the response to the Chick-fil-A celebration day!
HELLOOOO, SteelYourFaith! I’m so glad to see you!
I miss YOUR synopses very much, and I miss you—period!
I hope you’re doing very well.
"The Big Broadcast" is an institution on FR !!!
I miss not participating so much lately.
Keeping up with the Olympics?
You’re doing well—that’s good news. We’re fine, too.
Hang around! :-)
I have no idea about the Olympics, except through Drudge headlines and passing mentions on the radio. Football season is coming up quickly, though.
