Hello, all you Wingnuts!! Long time, no post, I know. In short, I was released from my workman's comp. on Sept.15, went out on the road for 6 L-O-N-G weeks(I usually stay out about 3), then went on my vacation to my cousin's wedding in Conn. and just got home tonight.
ANYHOO, my sister & I drove up, and on the way home we spent a couple days in Manhattan. One morning we went to Rockefeller Center to the Today Show and stand outside. Even though it was crowded, my sister still managed to make it up to the barrier and I was standing behind her. After a while, my feet started getting cold from just standing so I left the crowd, and walked around nearby. I saw a black car pull up and some people get out. One of them was a woman and it was Ann-Margret!! I was like, OMG!! I went up to her and talked to her all of 15 seconds, but I talked to her. I said something like I love your work. I'm so bad at remembering stuff like that because I'm so excited at meeting a famous person!! She had her luggage and she went into the building. Little did I know but she was a guest on the Today show. Later she came outside again to the crowd, and she ran through the whole crowd, and shook people's hands, including my sister's.
I probably wouldn't be telling you this but ever since the "Sports & Leisure" episode first aired, I feel that Ann-Margret has a Wings connection. The woman has been in show business for years(heck, I remember watching her in Bye, Bye Birdie when I was a kid!!), but now, whenever I hear her name, I always think of that Wings episode. I just thought it was so cool being able to meet her.
Kind of off-topic, we also met Jimmy Smits in Manhattan right near our hotel. He's doing a show on Broadway, and he came out after the show and did autographs and took pictures. Really nice guy.
Well, I'll probably be going back to work tomorrow and won't be home until after Thanksgiving, so right now I want to wish everybody here a very Happy Thanksgiving.pumpkin: :turkey: pumpkin: :turkey:
I can't believe that some of the radio stations have already been playing non-stop Christmas music since Nov.1st. Please let us celebrate Thanksgiving before going into the mayhem that is Christmas.
