New Photos of Grandchild

Several people have asked about my Step Daughter Christina's baby Jonathan.
This photo was taken on Feb, 21 at Fort Campbell, KY . Little Jonathan is 2 months old now and starting to make noises and reacting to all of the silly things that I do. My son Garen has taken quite a liking to Jonathan and calls him his "Little Short Stop" Marah, my daughter was all smiles as she held him. I think that she really enjoys her role as the "Oldest" and has her hands full taking care of all of the rest of us.

Would You Let This Guy Drive Your Cab ?

I just noticed that I got a BLOG comment from a MissaSpoon. Let me fill you all in on just who MissaSpoon is. Way back in 1966, that's right 40 years ago. I was in a special program in Georgia where they let kids at the age of three attend preschool. We were taught as if we were 5 year olds as a study to see if 3 year olds could catch on to "Higher Learning"
Let the photos in this post help you to decide if it worked.

Anyway that is where I met MissaSpoon. Now of course that is not his real name, he made up that name while He , myself and two other buddies and my father took an unplanned road trip to Canada while we were in the 8th grade just so we could say that we had been there. We stopped at every road side attraction and tourist trap along the way, we got in a lot of trouble at school because we skipped school to do the trip. They were going to expel us from school the day we got back but my father reminded the principal that all of the kitchen equipment at the school lunch room was on loan from one of my dad's restaurants and all talk of expulsion just kind of disappeared. It was one of the best trips of my life. My children and I now do the same thing once or twice a year, flipping a coin when we get to a fork in the road as to weather we will go right or left. We are leaving on one of those on Tuesday this week just for fun. The kids are out of school all next week so now is a good time to go. ( Since I do not own any restaurants)

But back to MissaSpoon. For 40 years we have been best friends. He was in my wedding I was best man in his. I was there at the hospital for the birth of his son, and he was at the hospital for the birth of my son. And so on. We have done all of that teenage stuff that they make movies about. ( But NOT Brokeback Mountain) We lived to tell about it.
Anyway, in his post he asked "Will there ever be a MudWog Post" or something like that. No there won't. MudWog is a made up character that only lived in the letters that MissaSpoon and I and my girlfriend Wanda would write to MissaSpoon while he was stationed in Korea when he was in the US Army in the early 1980's.
The two photos in this post were taken around 1980 when he and I both attended a small private school in Morrow, Ga. It was on 50's day and he came as a nerd. We all asked him why he did not dress up. Anyway, I found these photos this last December and added the titles to them and sent them to him for Christmas.

One More Thing

So many have been e mailing but not leaving any posts or comments. I could not figure out why with this blog getting so many visitors that no one was leaving any comments. Then someone told me about what a pain in the butt it was to leave a comment because they had to "Log In or Register or some other crap" that they would not go to the trouble. Well I think I fixed that. You should be able to post without the hassles now.

The DVD Set and Seminar Tour

I have had so many people calling and e mailing asking WHEN will the WOW FACTOR DVD be out. Well here's the deal. It needs the finishing touches and my "Finishing Touch" guy is in Moldova shooting video for a fund raising documentary . They are raising money for a new orphanage. See his web site at www.hftwmedia.org

I have two fantastic video editors, Kathy Delgado and Eric Hoover. Eric is the one out of the country. This DVD project has become a true monster and has evolved from just one "How To" DVD to a three DVD set and when Eric gets back we may expand it to a four DVD set. You will be able to purchase them one at a time or as a full set at a discount.

Now for the Seminar Tour. It has been pushed back to this Fall for several reasons. The first reason is that I have just booked to many weddings for this Spring and Summer with at least two if not three weddings each weekend. Some are three day weddings out of town.

During October I always hold it to just one wedding per weekend because we have the Atlanta Braves to deal with. For those that know baseball, we always have baseball in October in Atlanta. As I have traveled around I have found out that the Braves are despised in baseball cities all over the country. They all say the Braves win to much. Oh well , that is just to bad.
The Seminars will all be during the week. The end of September ,the end of October and the first of November. If you would like to be on the mailing list for the Seminars or the DVD release please just send me an e-mail and tell me. scott@scottevans.com

Sorry that there haven't been very many post lately, I have been traveling a bit and have some to do this week. The kids are out of school for a week starting today and I think a road trip is in order. Then next weekend I have a wedding in Florida and also the PMA photo marketing convention is the following week also in Florida.

Also, I would like to thank the many people that have e mailed me asking about my shoulder. It is so much better. I even threw about 20 pitches at baseball practice tonight with my sons team. It hurt to throw but I think it is just because all the strenght is not back yet.

I will try to post stuff from the road.
