I don't often stop down and allow myself a 'look what you guys have done' moment but today I did...and it was overwhelming...seeing all of you out there and being up there with the guys, while always meaningful, was moreso today...going back over the old times, seeing Spence, Michael Moroney, Susie, Kim, Cindy, Randy, Ted, and any of the others who were there on day 1 20--20!!!!!--years ago, hearing the stories of Junior and George and Gordon about what they were thinking about things in the months/days leading up to it, hearing what Norm had to say about it as someone looking on from the outside, and then hearing all of you tell me how we're like family to you, how Matt from Tampa came in here just for this and had a hard time explaining to the people he worked with that he was going to Dallas to watch a bunch of guys do radio, how your dads used to listen when you were in the car and you wondered what was so great about it but now you get it totally...and then when my own young daughter showed up unexpected and unannounced, even though several knew of it...I thought the day would be pretty special but was thinking it would be that way to me and not so much anyone else...and now I see how short-sighted that was--it was special to all of us and drove home once again just how this thing works and why...and it leaves me with just this one question: where did it all go?...seems like yesterday when we were ganging up on the 5th floor of the Capitol Bank Building on Mockingbird/Central to take the wraps off this thing...and now? 20 years?...really?....thank you all for a day I will not soon forget and I hope we see you again tomorrow for the Timewasters
