Ted & Lisa's Excellent Adventure (The Jake Visit Report)
Brown Eyes:
Well, I should have elaborated... I was at Target to get a bunch of household errand-type stuff (like dish soap) and I really wasn't in need of or in the market for clothing at the moment. But, when I passed the clothing racks I had an overwhelming urge to buy a t-shirt... primarily with this interview in mind. And, I didn't know that Jake shops at Target before this lunch conversation was reported. I don't usually make a point of following his shopping habits. But, I do like when weird, random things can all of a sudden become Brokie things. Like simple Target t-shirts.
I know Target is cool. I shop there all the time.
Anyhoo... I agree that it's well worth the effort to deal with LiveJournal and the friending procedure in order to read this. It's definitely a great thing to read as a Brokie. For anyone who reads fan fiction, this "friending" ritual is more or less routine compared to folks who may not be so familiar with LiveJournal's somewhat obscure ways. I've always found LiveJournal to be really pretty bad in the "user friendly" department. But, I also commend Lisa and Ted for trying to keep this encounter relatively private and amongst a small-ish circle of Brokies. I'm sure Jake would appreciate that kind of consideration.

I registered on LJ and friended them, and I don't even know them on here, let alone on LJ! But they accepted my request right away, and I absolutely loved reading that. Ted and Lisa, if you are reading this, thank you so much for telling us about your meeting in so much detail. And for asking that question about Heath. I think that was handled very well. Thanks again! :)

I agree, and I think their observation that he continually used the present tense was just heartwrenching. :'(

By the way.........Is there any posts or live journal, that explains, how Ted and Lisa came about organising or being able to have the visit with Jake??
I picked up in what I read, that they had won some kind of auction, and something Jake mentioned about them donating a lot of money to a charity, but dont know where all the information is on all that.
Does anyone know???
Whatever it was, they were sure taken care of very respectfully and courteously by Jake's assistant, and the filming crew, and of course Jake, he was wonderful with them.

Well................................if you guys say so, uh, I'll try. Wish me luck, ya'll. ???
