Elton John beats my parents to 50 states...

And ol' Elt has stricter rules than our family's 'must eat in a state to count' guideline. Nope, to get on John's list of states, he has to perform. And last Monday, after 39 years of American shows, he added his 50th state -- Vermont!

And not only did he achieve the magical full complement of states -- but he got an even rarer treat: his own Ben & Jerry's icecream, Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road. Ok, I have no interest whatsoever in purchasing icecream described as "an outrageous symphony of decadent chocolate ice cream, peanut butter cookie dough, butter brickle and white chocolate chunks", but still, pretty cool. Congrats Reggie.

I can only say--he saved the best for last.

And he promised not to wait another 39 years before visiting... so let me know when he's playing Vermont again & we can come too! ;-)

Upon further review, the Ice Cream looks pretty yummy.
