I heard this topic on local talk radio (570 KLIF for you in North Texas) the other day, semi-intresting . . .

. . . you ever had a one-on-one conversation with a celebrity? I suppose this would include small talk during an autograph session. Are you related by blood or marriage to a high profile person? Now, I know there is gonna be different opinions on who is considered a celeb and who is not . . . but thats really not the point . . . if you think they're important, that's fine.

My encounters are strictly through autograph sessions . . . and considering I live in BFE, these aren't too bad.

Up until just recently my wife's great aunt lived around the corner from actor Matthew McConaughey's humble home in Austin. We found out recently that Matthew bought a ranch outside the city.
