Favorites

The word "favorite" has given me some challenging decisions at times. Naming my favorite movie is somenthing that I've never liked, as I don't really have one favoirite as much as a few movies that I really like. Other things, such as my favorite tv show are sometimes easily identifiable (sometimes not) but are prone to change at virtually any time.
But then there are those enduring favorites, those clear cut things that stay at the top for extended periods of time like UCLA stayed atop college basketball back in the Wooden era (or something like that).
When such things as these collide in such a way as to give you the possiblilty to experience both at once, it is one of those moments to savor. For instance, imagine watching your favorite sports team play, while enjoying your favorite meal. Or imagine your favorite song playing as you participate in your favorite leisure activity.
I've had a few favorites for a while now and last night, two of them collided. Switchfoot, my favorite band for about four years now, played on The Late Show with David Letterman. This show has been my favorite late night talk show dating back to it's beginning (and even to the days of it's predecessor "Late Night" on NBC).
And was it awesome? I have no idea. I didn't see it. I didn't even know it was going to happen. I found out about a half hour ago when I performed one of my "every now and then" checks of my "secondary" email account. How does such a thing happen?...how do I miss out on the stars aligning in such a way as this? How can this blog entry get any longer?
There may be a good ending to this story after all. Matt, Page 3's most beloved writer left a message on my answering machine last night around the time that Letterman begins airing. Though the message didn't indicate anything like this, I believe Page 3's MBL may have been aware of this event and may have recorded it for me.
Stay tuned to find out the details.
