| "Good to see you again, Dan," said Matthew. |

| Dan is not the only one with fans. Matthew has garnered a few himself. One Matthew/Dan fan friend from San Diego, Kim, emailed me to let me know Abrams would be on location nearby and that I should take Matthew. Since my best friend lives just a few blocks from the courthouse, we decided to visit her for the day and then stop by so Matthew could see his favorite news guy. Sandy, Dan's co-worker/assistant came over to greet us. Matthew was very happy to see her and she responded by telling Matthew she had a surprise for him. I was thinking a new autographed picture. A video of Dan for the tike. MSNBC crayons. Something like that. Nope. Dan wanted Matthew to appear on "The Abrams Report" for an interview. |
| Abrams asked us to return in time for the end of the show, his usual "Closing Argument" block. I was not sure what it was that Dan was going to ask Matthew, but it bolstered my opinion that the man is fearless to invite a just-over three year old onto his live show. I sometimes feign at the idea of going to the grocery store. Live tv? Yikes. |
| Matthew enjoyed his time with his pals Dan and Sandy. When I asked him later what his favorite part was, he simply replied, "Sitting next to Dan." |

| Dan came over and of course, Matthew was very, very happy to see him. He shook Dan's hand and gave Dan what Matthew calls his "SupermanSuperDan" cape. It's just a red cape that Matthew likes to wear and run up and down the hall screaming "SuperDan"! So he was insistent that Dan have a matching cape so he, too, could play "SuperDan". Dan, of course, was gracious. He joked of wearing it on the show. Matthew would have loved it. I venture to guess that the "AR" crew was relieved that this event did not occur. |
