Okay, like I say, I'm a regular guy just like all the other regular folks who live around here and in other parts of the world. My wife and I, after eating dinner at Thai Garden, decided to do some shopping at the world's largest small-mall-general-merchandise-department store, Wal-Mart. While looking for an electronics gift for a teenager, we asked the teenage daughter of a nearby couple shopping for a computer printer about her opinion concerning the utility of the gift. She gave us good advice.
Well, lo and behold, the young woman's parents happen to be regular folks, too, their daughter attending a local secondary school, where, incidentally, her older brother, Howard Cross, also attended, later making a name for himself as the longest playing New York Giants football player. Like Howard, his father attended the University of Alabama which will play in the national college football championship (a/k/a SEC championship) game this Saturday.

Hmm, I like this post.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julia. Sometimes when we look at celebrities - movie actors, politicians, and sports figures - we forget they are people just like us, with regular lives that include parents and siblings shopping at the local market, making decisions about what to buy.
