Wish I was him…

November 30th, 2008 by Thompson Lange

Ok, so last night I was in the Salinas Christmas Parade doing the goofy Christmas-caroling-ala-Dickens bit that I get roped into now and then (I know, I know), when one of the guys asked me about the profile that came out about me in Haven Magazine yesterday.

Thompson Lange Homescapes Carmel Haven Magazine Profile 2008

At that point I hadn’t seen it yet so I didn’t know if the article made me look good or bad…but my clue should’a been how he asked me.  His question?  “Was that an ad or an interview?”

Now that I’ve read it, I’ve figured out what should be read at my eulogy one day…’cause whoever THAT guy is, he sounds GREAT.  Doesn’t sound pissy, or cranky, or manic depressive, or obsessive-compulsive.

(Well, maybe he does sound obsessive-compulsive.)

People who know me, know that all my faults have been politely overlooked and unmentioned in the article.  (Even I’M smart enough not to show the worst sides of my personality to an interviewer.) It’s really well-written and flattering and gee it’s nice to be described the way that guy was described.  Now I have something to aspire to.

I want to be THAT guy.
