So I just let it go. It did come up in passing thoughts but I would quickly move on. I did jump up every time the door bell would ring.
Last Thursday I stopped in to my friend Doug's radio show for the first time since I was his guest. The station has a video feed and a chat room. He was very happy to see me in the room and he exclaimed "Brian, it's wonderful to see you here. I've got great news pertinent to share with you today! Of course that kept me around for the whole hour. To make a long story short he ran out of time before he could fill me in.
I confronted him in a Google chat Friday morning. I asked him what all the fuss was about. "Brian, Christmas is coming early! I have in my possession a brand new laptop computer for you (along with some hardware so you can do your own show for your group)!" I am ecstatic! However I have not made the connection yet.
After talking with a few friends I realize that this is the box I have been waiting for! Or is it? Later Friday evening I have a chat with Melody, a friend in Iowa who got me in touch with Doug in the first place. I tell her about what Doug told me and she asked "Who spilled the beans? Tell me everything you know" She laughed and said, "Brian, you don't even know the half of it! By the time everything is revealed, you will be convinced I should be a lobbyist in DC because I have deceived you so much" A few other people close to the situation have confirmed to me that the laptop may be just an appetizer to something else.
How exciting?! I'll be sure to let y'all know what ends up happening.
