Stories from Cali - Part I

Hopefully, over the next several days I will be able to chronicle for you our exploits in the beautiful state of California. The first installment...my brush with greatness (sort of).

Picture this...LAX (that's the Los Angeles airport) Saturday night, around 7:00 PST. Laura, Kristin, Tim, Emma, and myself are making our way through the corridors. We've had a great trip! Saw my cousin get married, got to visit with family we haven't seen in years...but we were tired and dreading the long plane ride home...

So Warren Moon, wherever you happen to be, I'll be ready for our next encounter...and thanks for the pic :)

Yes, that's right...we saw Warren Moon. Of course, Baron was the only one of us who recognized him, or even knows who he is. But let's not forget about our first celebrity citing, which we'll talk about later. Let's just say we saw one of America's favorite little people...

BTW, you did better than I did when I went through LAX... I saw NO ONE... of course, what do I expect flying out literally in the middle of the night. I only got to see famous places... which was neat...
