"Famous" people

           I have another post that I started and didn't finish yet, but I had to do a quick post over something that happened yesterday. I've met a few "famous" people over the years, starting with Kermit the frog when I was just a kid(Ok. Not a person, but Kermit's creator, Don Sahlin, was). I've met local TV and radio personalities and many musicians, mostly local, but I have met a few very well known ones. Most of the "famous" people that I have met have been friendly and gracious, but some not so much. So anyways, I got home from work yesterday and put on the local news. In the opening segment, the meteorologist Erika Martin(Who I always enjoy watching. You'll understand why when you see the pics) announced that she was broadcasting from a garden center only a few miles from my house. So I jumped in my truck and headed to Winterberry Gardens to see her broadcast in person and hoping to meet her. And I did. Now, keep in mind that I looked like some kind of wacko, with my goatee and dew rag that everybody hates. Lol. And she was one of the coolest people I have ever met! She has a great personality and even better looking in person than on TV(If you read this Erika, I promise I'm not a stalker! Lol). We had a great conversation and she asked me if I would join her on her next live broadcast of the weather. Of course I said yes. She told me to call my parents so they would see it and she even got on the phone with my mother(Which, totally shocked her and she told me to never do that to her again. Sorry mom, it was Erika's doing. Lol). So I had my minute of fame on the local news, but more importantly, I got to meet a really nice person. "Famous" or not, it was a pleasure meeting you Erika! Thanks for listening, Kevin

P.S. Here's the video of the newscast. I look like such a weirdo. Notice the newscaster's faces when they go back to the studio! Too funny!
