I could be wrong, but I have a feeling that I responded to dash's question last night differently then most of the human population!
He called me from New York. (He's there on business--Mr. Fancy Pants.) So I'm already bitter, because I want to go to New York, he doesn't--but he gets to go and leave me behind, once again. I'm always left behind--but that's a whole other blog! :)
So Mr. Fancy Pants calls and says "I've got the kids gifts...typical tourist stuff" what would you like me to get you? Without pause I said, "I want a nice 'David Letterman Late Show' jacket!" It was really the first thing that came to my mind. Do I need a jacket, not really. Do I watch Letterman faithfully? No. But to me Letterman is New York. It's not the Statue of Liberty, or all the other neat and great things I intend to see when I go, it's all wrapped up in one man, one show--David Letterman.
I told Fancy Pants that I was joking, but he still went to the Ed Sullivan (I am still VERY BITTER) theater today and picked me up a ball cap (they didn't have a jacket) and a cup from the Letterman Show. I know it's silly, I know I'm silly. I mean no disrepect to the history of the city or the wonderful things it has, I just grew up watching Letterman and for me, he has become my New York icon! :)
I also fully realize that by the time I actually get to go to New York, he will be living on his Montana Ranch full time and no longer entertaining the masses. I figure I'll get to New York before I turn 100. It's on my "bucket list" so I have to do it by then, right?!

I love Letterman, but I haven't watched him in a while. He comes on around 11:30pm here. I can't say that I think of Letterman when I think of NY. Dash is pretty lucky.
I am jealous as well. I haven't been to NY and want to go. I think having a David Letterman anything would be cool!
I could see asking for a Letterman jacket. I'd probably ask for a mug or something like that first, though. :)
Wow, New York. The closest I have been is Philadelphia. Dash is lucky. I have never watched Letterman, but BB likes him. Hopefully you'll get to New York someday.
