Mike Rowe says I'm "perky"

Hope he knows about the Bedhead Brew...


Here's what Mike wrote on his Facebook page:

Robin Meade is a very perky person. She gets up every day around 3 am, and hosts a show called Morning Express on HLN from six to noon. Conversely, I am rarely perky, and never at that hour. When my alarm fails, I wake up around nine, and achieve full consciousness by lunch, which is why my eyes are still closed in this photo. Technically, I’m awake, but as you can see I’m hugging myself in an attempt to keep from tumbling out of my chair and sliding to the floor.

Anyway, I’m told that Robin and I sang the SGDI song. I have no recollection of this, but understand the results can be heard this morning around 7:50 on HLN and again around 9:45, 10:45, and 11:45. AM. If you’re a morning person, check it out. If not, Somebody’s Gotta Do It premieres tonight a more civilized hour. 9PM, to be precise, pending breaking news. Assuming I make my flight, I’ll be watching in Kentucky.

Also - yesterday’s FB Q&A was officially a CNN record breaker. Thanks again for your help. If I make it Louisville in time, I’ll try another live Q&A on THIS page during the premier tonight. It would be fun to watch with you guys, since you pretty much programmed the show.

Goddesses night at Cirque in Atlanta.

Goddesses (ha!) night out at the premier of Cirque in Atlanta... with Jen Hendershott, Cynthia Bailey and Kenya Moore.

From the Cirque website... Amaluna invites the audience to a mysterious island governed by Goddesses and guided by the cycles of the moon.

Their queen, Prospera, directs her daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony in a rite that honours femininity, renewal, rebirth and balance which marks the passing of these insights and values from one generation to the next.

In the wake of a storm caused by Prospera, a group of young men lands on the island, triggering an epic, emotional story of love between Prospera’s daughter and a brave young suitor. But theirs is a love that will be put to the test. The couple must face numerous demanding trials and overcome daunting setbacks before they can achieve mutual trust, faith and harmony.
