A 25-Year-Old Vest

Bought the vest in 1996. At Country Thunder (now Country Lightning). Forty dollars.

Never wore it.

Kept it in dry cleaner wrapping.

...

Wore it tonight.

Best night so far.

...

And now he's telling me (again) how he could've gone to jail for stealing the Niagara Parkway sign.

Just to prove he and Charlie Justice were there.

...

I love this man.

I love the mistakes he made, and the lessons he learned from them.

I love how he's teaching me to learn big lessons from my big mistakes.

...

Other memories from tonight...
