Little brother Gresham had just been asked not to say “dang it” but instead to find better words when he gets mad or frustrated. “Try saying ‘I don’t like it when this happens’,” Becky suggested as I smirked from across the room in a way that clearly unsupportively said that’s pretty lame.
That’s when big sister Gabriella chimed in. “Oh, that’s where he got that. He learned that from the Harper family. Brody says those words,” she informed us. “Brody says the h word too.”
“The h word?” Becky asked.
Gabriella only nodded a no.
“Heck?” I interjected.
A confused look from Gabriella.
“Hate,” she leaned in and whispered. “He says that. I heard him.”
“Oh,” I said, relieved.
“What’s heck?” Gabriella asked.
Good thing Brody’s out of town for a while. Heck, maybe my kid’s potty mouth will clean up.
Seriously, Brody is on the road for 27 days straight starting today. While I take the month off, Brody’s out road managing Phil Wickham, a soft rock “worship” singer guy with an affinity for v-neck shirts, girl jeans, and copying other people’s video stylings. They’re on the David Crowder tour together. Phil’s the opener.
Brody’s mission is simple: post about the strange habits of the Crowder and train Phil Wickham up in the ways of the Shlog, somehow getting him to post something on his blog at least once a day. Should be an entertaining read over on Brody’s blog.
And also, this is important, pray for Brody, his wife and their three boys while he’s away. 27 days is a long time without a best friend/husband and a dad. The rest of us in the cult-de-sac will do our best to help his family while he’s away but we’re not Brody. Pray for their safety, health (physical, mental and spiritual) and pray that the days fly by.
Dang it, 27 days is a long time on the road. I mean, I don’t like it when this happens.
We’ll miss you around here, Brody. Keep us posted.

That’s funny.
Pete’s a good guy.

Brody if you can figure out the secret to Crowder’s hair you will make a fortune!

…Bed Head hairspray… silver can….
see how usefully this is.?.. i can share mysteries to the world.
Thanks for the freaking kind words Shaun. I will try not to teach your kids bad words anymore.

The bright side is that it gives the rest of the country a chance to hangout with Brody. I for instance will be driving two hours to Orlando just to hangout and hopefully do something fun, I don’t know maybe shark fishing over at Cape Canaveral, or visit the space center…not that I have been looking into any of this.
Shaun Groves says:
Have fun on your date boys. This is your second date isn’t it?
Shawn Bashor says:
You know Shaun, little comments like that have long reaching consequences such as videos from whole foods.
To answer your question, that would be no, it would be the second time I get to hangout with someone from Nashville cooler and funnier than Shaun Groves.
Thing is I haven’t had the chance to meet Michael Farren in person and I am thinking he runs a close race with Brody.

Looks like we’ll be seeing Brody sooner than later. The Remedy tour is coming to Columbia’s Township Auditorium and my brother-in-law and I are going. Any chance for backstage access? Kidding. Ok, not really kidding. It’s worth a shot, right?
There’s some “Instant Civil War” in it for ya’.
Barb says:
Shaun…I thank you also for the request for prayer for Brody and his family. We will be there next week to help out some, and hopefully relieve Kristin alittle.
Makes me a little sad that he is not with you, but excited for this time with Phil.
Thank you again for the nice words. See you next week.
