As I arrived home from the Utah .NET User Group meeting last night I was greeted with a very pleasant surprise.  My brother had been by and left a paper on my desk which read:

Hi Aaron!
Happy Birthday!
Your Pal,
”Weird Al” Yankovic

My brother drives a Park City shuttle, frequently taking people to and from the airport.  Well, it turns out that Al and his wife, Suzanne, and their daughter were heading to Park City on my brother's shuttle.  He called me later in the day, informing me of his passenger.  In terms of being a fan, I don't know of a greater “Weird Al” fan than myself.  I absolutely LOVE his music and creativity.  I'm jealous and wich I could have been there.

Apparently, and this is why my brother needs a phone so badly, he went to check his phone to see if Al would call me, but had no service.  Of all the times to not have service!

I do thank him, however, for being thoughtful and providing me with a personalized note.  What a treat!
