I know this not because I regularly check Dave's guest list, but because Steve Martin has a Twitter account.
When I first stumbled upon Steve's Twitter, I kinda dorked out, because...well, because Steve's hilarious. And I enjoy having as many hilarious people around me as will fit, in person or via any number of various media.
After following Steve's tweets for several days, I half-jokingly tweeted that all I wanted for Christmas, my birthday and all holidays in between was to have Steve Martin reply to one of my tweets.
And then...within a couple of hours of that tweet, I received a direct message. From Steve Martin. It said, "Can't. Too busy."
Simple. Brilliant. Perfect.
He's had a permanent seat on my top tier of favorites for years, along with Dave Barry, Bill Bryson, Ellen DeGeneres, Al Franken, Tina Fey, Mitch Hedberg, Garrison Keillor...and others I'm sure I'm omitting. Michael Perry is a newcomer to this ever-changing list.
I also have the good fortune to hang around with some ridiculously funny people...new friends, old friends, and those who are soon-to-be-new friends.
I am thankful for the funny.
"A day without sunshine is like, you know, night."
