Did you think I forgot about Buffett Trivia #2?

Oh, please. Do not fear. I may forget my own name, but I would never forget ANYTHING Buffett related.

Jimmy Buffett has a fondness for flying. Before purchasing his Dassault Falcon 900ex jet, he was know to pilot a Grumman HU-A16 Albatross known fondly as, "Hemisphere Dancer." At a flight survival training course (Little Creek Naval Air Station in Norfolk, VA), Jimmy learned the expression, "Bubbles up!" Should a pilot have a water landing, or accident, the course taught participants to follow their bubbles to the surface.

Good thing. This piece of knowledge ended up saving Jimmy's life after his seaplane crashed off of Long Island. "Bubbles up!" was the last thing he remembered before blacking out after the crash. He saw which way the bubbles were going, followed them, and survived.

Just think . . . Without "Bubbles up," we might not have "It's 5 o'clock somewhere"!

Buffett Trivia #1 . . . . Answered

You know, time just got away from me. Everyday last week was spent packing and, by the time I looked up, it was 5 o'clock somewhere . . . . . Like Hawaii. . . Which means, on the East Coast it was about 11 PM. Needless to say, I was just too darn tired to blog. Oh well. This whole move thing is a hassle right now, but will be sooooooo worth it in . . . hmmm, . . . . I'll say about two to three weeks.

So, did you want some answers????

Buffett Question #1

Well, as you can imagine, Jimmy knows a lot of important people. Bill Gates, Alan Jackson, Al Gore, George Clooney, Bill Clinton,George Strait and many more high-profile people that Jimmy calls from his cell.

The busboy who found the phone thought it would be amusing to make repeated crank calls to Bill Clinton. The Secret Service visited the boy's home, confiscated the phone and returned it to Jimmy. Oh! And the busboy? He was fired.

"Bubbles Up!"

Now, let's move on to Buffett Trivia #2

One of Jimmy's favorite expressions is, "Bubbles up!"

Where did he learn this expression? Why is it so near and dear to his heart?

P.S. The picture should give you a hint . . . . . It's of one of his planes, the "Hemisphere Dancer."

T minus 6 days . . .

For Parrotheads, like myself and DJ, attending a Jimmy Buffett concert is one of the highlights of the year. (Did I mention that we scheduled our move/closing on the new house around the Buffett concert schedule?) Ranking right up there with chocolate, it is probably one of my top four loves in live. . . . In fact, this is how I would rank them . . .

1. I love my husband

2. I love my cat

3. I love chocolate

4. I love BUFFETT

Numbers 1 thru 4 might flip-flop some depending on the severity of my PMS, if my husband suddenly finds it amusing to see how he can pluck my last nerve, how many furballs my kitty might be hacking up during shedding season, amount of wine I've had to drink, how much cold weather I've had to endure or number of frothy, fruity/coconutty drinks I've consumed.

So, for all you Parrotheads (and non-Parrotheads who just don't know what you're missing out on), I'll be your Domino College (look it up) Instructor teaching a week long course of Buffett Trivia.

Today's question: Buffett's song, 'Everybody's On The Phone' was written after Jimmy lost his cell phone at a Delray Beach restaurant, May 2005. How did he get his phone back?
