Um, not to change the subject or anything...

I just ran into James Schamus, here in Provincetown! 

Unfortunately, he was on his phone, or I would have said "howdy".  It is Carnival Week here, the theme is "Wild, Wild West";  how appropriate that James should be here. 

I can't imagine that he gets stopped on the street very often!

WOW!!!  :o  :D

Lucky you. Too bad you didn't get to chance to talk to him. Maybe next time.  :)

Well, looking at the picture, he looks familiar, but I'm still not sure I'd recognize him on the street! I am one of those people who if someone is "out of their element" it doesn't connect for me who they are. I think it started for me back in 8th grade when I saw my math teacher in a Carvel (ice cream store). This guy always wore a suit and tie for glass. At Carvel, he was wearing a black leather jacket, black jeans and tee shirt, boots and sunglasses. He looked like a biker! I was so stunned I think it made the "recognizing people in alternate situations" part of my brain shut down forever. LOL

Exciting day today in our household, my youngest has his 5th birthday today :).

He was soooo happy this morning, coming down the stairs, then he had to wait a minute outside the dinging room (till I had lit the candles on his B-day cake), and then of course he rushed in :D.
I just did the math: this is the 26th time I celebrate a birthday with my kids (12+9+5), but it's still amazing at what speed they are able to rip off the paper from the presents :laugh:. It's always the same ritual: rip off, take a one-second look at it, then on to the next present, occasionally accompanied by a squeal. But after all things are open, they take their time to take everything in and inspect every present.

In one hour the hardest part (for us adults) begins: children's birthday party :P.  I'll breathe a sigh of relief when it's over this evening :laugh:.

But it's so worth it: my little one has the best time today, you won't believe how happy he is :D

Oh, how cool!
Too bad he was just on the phone, but still a fine Brokie moment!

Thanks for sharing the happy domestic details with us, Chrissi! It brings back memories!! My long lanky 16-year-old son just won a big bicycle race, and I'm so proud of him!!
