Brian Orser just walked past my J pod during boarding process at YVR on AC64... into Y!

I wonder if he still has dealings in Korea?!

There's some korean drama, so to speak.

"In August 2010, Kim and her coach of four years, Brian Orser parted ways."

Live at all NHL rinks accross Canada.. Celebrities playing when there is a game..

I'm one of those unlucky ones that usually don't see someone famous that I would recognize.

I know, that's what I was referring to! If they had parted ways, it is quite compelling that he was on the ICN continuation flight!

Holmes On Board

Mike Holmes, YYZ-LGA Mar 8

He sat behind me in row 3 of J and talked pretty much non-stop through the flight.

All three female FA's came and spoke to him at different times, though not too obtrusively. All three said the same thing "my husband/boyfriend/son wants me to bring you home..."

His response was also the same "What's your name, and have they read my book?"

<sigh> OK, OK you're probably right.....

Maybe I'm biased cuz Chainey let me drink out of the Stanley Cup when he brought it to our street after the Ducks' 2007 win (that was the second time for me after my first sip in 1996 with the Avs )
