So I met Tom Bergeron for lunch, along with Annette Goldberg, who was the high bidder to join us from last year's Lend a Helping Can auction! We met at the Ferry Landing in Portsmouth - a great spot right on the water, and immediately ordered a couple rounds of "Jimmy Juice" (a rum drink with pineapple juice and who knows what else- but its delcious!).
The drinks flowed, and we had a great time.
One down, one to go. And let me tell you - these things hit you half way through your second one! haha- I MAY have gotten a little wobbly for a little bit! But I rallied! Because it was Tom's birthday- and before I went I got a birthday cake for him. I got it in a rush, paid for it - and never looked at it when I picked it up. When the server from the Ferry Landing brought it over- this is what happened-
I never looked at it so I had no idea! And no - I spelled it correctly when they asked how to spell it! I did - however- make a joke about those who spell it "Thom" - and the nice woman that did it probably just misheard me. Not her fault. She was awesome. BUT- it made for a moment that made my day - BERGERGON CUTTING LOSE WITH A GIANT F BOMB!
BEST. DAY. EVER.
HUGE thanks to Annette Goldberg- she was awesome to hang out with, and she was awesome for doing so much to help Lend a Helping Can.
And Tom? Well - he's the best ever. But you already knew that -
