I used to be awkwardly treading water, attempting to overhear their dialog. She was cool and requested what he was doing that evening, and he stated he was throwing the primary pitch on the Mets recreation.” This is what he seemed like that very evening!
I as soon as noticed Renee Zellweger trying flustered in airport safety; I ordered ice cream (and virtually blacked out) subsequent to Tina Fey in a seashore city years in the past; I sat close to Natalie Portman and Gael García Bernal on a date at a teeny sushi spot within the East Village; and in Paris final February I stood behind Laura Dern in line on the grocery retailer. I’m positive there have been others, however I can by no means keep in mind them!
Listed below are some humorous reader tales:

One night, she requested me for the time, however after I seemed down at my watch, my mind short-circuited. I stood there, completely nonetheless, looking at my watch for a lot longer than is affordable, simply praying that if I seemed lengthy sufficient, my potential to learn the time would return. Giving in, however refusing to make eye contact, I lastly whispered, ‘…I don’t know.’ She very gently responded, ‘It’s okay,’ then elegantly floated off into the evening.”
