The Amazing Adventures Of Tommy Snare!











So my wife gave me one of the coolest gifts she's ever given me while I was home on a quick two and a half day long break last week. The gift? Tommy Snare! Who's Tommy Snare? Well he is a pet monster that Susan hand stitched. Pretty cool huh? She named him Tommy Snare after my obvious love for drumming, (Tom Toms & Snare Drums). So this week Tommy has traveled the country with me going from Ohio to Oregon, Washington, Montana & South Dakota. It turns out he's quite the "Rock Star"; he likes hanging with the fans at the meet & greets, getting his picture taken, eating only the green M&M's and frolicking in the fruit tray. Despite his need for attention and the fact that he won't let me play my drums unless it's show time, his is a good hang. He gets me out of bed before noon, encourages me to eat healthy and checks my email for me when I don't have time. So thank you Susan for my new friend Tommy Snare! I love you and just want you to know that he's lots of fun, (not as much fun as you of course), but he fits in my pocket which is pretty neat!
