A bag of nuts and TV Interviews

     Justin, Julie and I just did a whole day of TV interviews for FINISHING THE GAME in San Diego.  And though it was a lot of fun going from TV station to magazine interview to TV station, all Justin and I could really talk about was food.  You see, the night before, Julie had sent an email to us to meet at Justin's in LA at 10 AM to drive to San Diego AND, since our interview schedule was so packed, to make sure we ate a big and hearty breakfast to tied us over until dinner.  Unfortunately for both Justin and myself, we did not get Julie's memo...and hence, neither one of us had breakfast.  Julie, however, had a full 6 course meal prior to our SD departure.

But Julie Asato would not be the wonder-producer that she is without thinking ahead.  She brought 3 Balance bars and, a bag of nuts for our trip, and one small bottle of water.  In our dire hunger, Justin and I shared the balance bar like two stowaways sharing their only bit of food at the start of a trans-atlantic voyage.  It was rather sad and pathetic.  And, the bag of nuts had walnuts.  I hate walnuts.  Walnuts make my skin itchy and they taste like chalk.

Nonetheless, we made it through our day.  And though Justin and I did not have breakfast or lunch, we were able to make it through all our interviews.  Unfortunately for both of us, we really have no idea what we said because we were both in a famine-induced comatose state.
