Highlight of my 2000 was a 15 minute chat with Willie Mays in the San Francisco AC on the Thursday after Xmas. He was on his way to JFK on what had to be a very light travel day - only 3 people in the AC - since the casino he was hosting for in Atlantic City was worried about him getting stranded because of a snowstorm. Almost thought about flying to JFK with him (was going to BOS) but would have been rude.
Sat next to Jerri from Survivor on a JFK-LAX flight in J without knowing who she was. She was not thrilled about that! (Of course, she spilled her drink on herself so I wasn't too disappointed)
