While I Was Waiting…
Posted by VeRonda Wicks July 20th, 2008Okay, of course there’s sadness with ending such a beautiful trip, but I was glad to finally be home (I’ll cherish the memories of you and I, Aruba!). Okay… I’m back! So, remember my recent post of seeing familiar faces while you’re in the airport? Well, on our travels back (lay over in Atlanta’s airport) we spotted Steve Spurrier.
Who is Spurrier you might ask? Well, he is currently the football coach for The University of South Carolina. And, before then, he had a short (and very profitable) stint with the NFL’s Washington Redskins. It was interesting seeing him because like always, when we spot these familiar faces, he’s just like everybody else.
My mother in law made the good point that she may see folks in her travels and wouldn’t know them anyway (True. True.). It’s okay… it’s a process. Her point solidifies my already true desire to assist in bridging that crazy gap within relationships through relating athletes and their stories.
Keep your eyes opened!

i am a people watcher and the airport is my favorite place. i’ve seen joey fatone (of n’sync), paul and morgan hamm (of gymnastic fame), and nadia comaneci (also a gymnist – but saw them years apart)… all at an airport.

Hey Diana! You know what? The airport is one of my favorites, too. My father used to take me there when I was small to see the planes take off and those memories haven’t left me. Keep a look out and thanks for stopping by!

My husband rode STP (Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic) two weeks ago and my daughter drove the support vehicle.
They arrived in Seattle on Friday and went to a store and who should be shopping but Robin Williams. They asked him if he was there to ride in the bike classic — and he said, no, he was just enjoying a visit to Seattle.
I asked them about his persona.. and he was just another short shopper in a hat.

Hi Pam! Robin Williams?? Wow! That must’ve been fun… but, isn’t it crazy when (in this case) you expect a joke or funny face and get a simple hello? People are just people all over the place. Be sure to stop by again!
