Hey Ma, Guess Who I Saw!

As the precognitive or highly astute among you already know, we have a 90% chance of moving cross-country very very soon.

That said, there's still a lot that I never took the time for while we lived in Los Angeles. Stuff like, go to a taping of The Tonight Show. But it turns out that attending a taping of The Tonight Show is a long and arduous process and takes literally your whole day, so I never got around to it. Plus, Johnny is gone and he was my first and last late-night love.

Unlike Dooce, I never got around to dating Soap stars, but I did run into a small number of somewhat famous people. And by 'run into' I mean 'come within 20 feet of'. I would never rush up to someone and make a scene or ask for someones autograph. But it's cool to actually see these folks in person and congratulate yourself for not making a scene. I know the somewhat famous people I ran into appreciated it.
.
Now, this list is pretty short considering I've lived in the area since 1997 - but you have to realize that I live about 45 minutes from Los Angeles, and only go from the house to work and home again. Oh, and 93% of the time, I never look at the faces of the people around me - So I've probably shared an elevator with The Lord Jesus Christ a few times and not known it.
