Either I was too shy, or I didn't want to intrude, but I have been within arm's length of these three people and yet didn't extend my arm to shake their hand. I wish I would have now.1. Sen. Ted Kennedy
2. Cesar Chavez
3. The Dalai Lama

Aaron, I'm the same way with fame and greatness. (Secret Service probably wouldn't have let you touch a fingertip though...)
ReplyDeleteI was at a party with Ted Kennedy and his wife in Georgetown in 2005. I don't think there were Secret Service there, but who really knows?
ReplyDeleteI probably would have been too self-conscious to shake his hand. But today I feel a great sadness for his leaving and a great appreciation for all he did for our country.
ReplyDeleteNo, Tai. The guy holding the shrimp platter was Aaron, (remember India Joze?).
ReplyDeleteTai..love the shrimp platter holder comment and you are probably right!
ReplyDeleteAaron, what about that famous author..the male tree hugger dude whom you almost crashed in a plane with en route to portugal? add him to the list?
i remember talking to you on your cell the night you were feet away from Senor Ed. you sounded in awe.
