The scrapblog editor was out to dinner tonight at chic A Rebours in downtown St. Paul with her close personal famous celebrity author friend Laurie Hertzel and looked up to see the fellow pictured to the right at the table next to them. The scrapblog editor had her camera in her purse and was tempted to jump up and take Mr. Keillor's picture and "greet" him. But she remembered the infamous Miller family incident where Alverna saw Dan Rather at Cathy's Georgetown University Law School graduation and the Millers had to sit on her to keep her from trotting over and "greeting" him. We assume Garrison wanted to "greet" us too, especially given Laurie's fame, all of which she owes to the scrapblog editor, by the way, but he was too polite to do so.

Gawk, yes; greet, no

Clearly, Laurie is too darn well-behaved. Next time I need to go to dinner with a COUSIN, who would have done the right thing -- stood me up right next to Garrison and took a photo of the both of us.
Pam dear, Once, in San Francisco's North Beach in Tower Records, my sister and I were in line behind the "Garp" author John Irving. He is a very charismatic and handsome creature, and he was buying about $1000 worth of CDs. He requested that they be shipped to his home. We watched his entire transaction, and I had to hold her back from accosting him with "Oh! Mr. Irving!" etc etc
Later, in the parking lot, we saw him leaving in his fast red sportscar with vanity plates. If my aging memory serves right, the license plate said something GARP like...
Your Garrison close encounter, and your mom's Dan Rather temptation, remind me of that SF memory...my sis still says "You should have let me speak to him!"
