Tom and I made a pilgrimage to see the Roy Orbison Museum. Well, museum might be overstating the description.  It's a little room. And you have to call a phone number to have someone come open it up for you ... a LOL in a BOC (big ol' car). I NEVER recognize celebrities. Hence I see the backs of a lot of celebrities' heads because people are always saying to me, "Hey, that was  (insert celebrity name here) who just passed us."  So I turn around and look at the back of said celebrity's head.

You had your first celeb sightings. After we parted company the other day and, then, you missed Timothy Busfield by about one minute, I was worried you were star crossed. But Calvin Trillin and Dan Rather!? A fine start to your collection. Hurrah! You had your first celeb sightings.
