Funny/ironic story: a few years ago I was flying from SLC to SNA and was in first class. I sit down and who plops down next to me but Marie Osmond. Having lived in SoCal for many years, I had seen my share of celebs but had never engaged. I decided to follow the same protocol here, but she began to talk to me! She could .not have been any more pleasant. She asked if i was going home or to work. We chatted the ENTIRE flight. It was really cool. She was headed to the area for a commercial shoot for Nutra System. Again, she is one of the nicest people i have ever met.
Sad part is that when I went in to my office in Irvine, none of the younger team members had a clue who she was. I have never felt so old in my life. When I showed them her Dancing With The Stars pic, that gave her some street cred with the youngens.

I think you'll find large differences between millenials and the knowledge of many celebs. For instance many classic actors have long since passed away - Robert Mitchum, George Peppard, Gregory Peck, Burt Lancaster, Robert Shaw, Johnny Carson, Charlton Heston, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin - etc. We all live through our personal slice of time - and we are somewhat oblvious to what goes on around us
Today celebs are people like the Karshashians, rappers, Tom Brady, Daniel Craig,U2, or the Simpsons. They too will pass on to reveal the next batch of actors and stars...

Caris LaVert of the NBA Brooklyn Nets is on my DTW-LGA flight today, along with a number of other University of Michigan alums coming back from yesterday’s football game.

LOL, I love the Buse! Don't get me wrong ...
Anyway, back on topic. I ran into Moziah Bridges of Mo's Bows (Bow Ties) tonight. He was on my flight home from JFK. I recognized him from his Shark Tank appearance ... and, of course, he was wearing one of his signature bow ties. Spoke briefly with him after stepping onto the jetway. Very nice, and humble, kid.
Then, upon walking out of baggage claim in CLT I spotted Pat McCrory (Former mayor of CLT and former governor of NC) on the curb standing next to me.
