About a year ago, I was in Boston's Logan airport. As I was walking through the airport, I saw one of my favorite actors on TV--Sam Waterson (aka Jack McCoy from Law & Order) doing a TD Ameritrade commercial. This reminded me of my family because we always watch Law & Order reruns when we are together, so I pulled out my Blackberry to e-mail my parents, sister, and boyfriend about the Sam Waterson sighting. Even though I explicitly stated that I saw him ON T.V., my family was somewhat confused and thought I had seen him in person. When everyone discovered that I had only seen him on TV in a commercial, I never lived it down.
So today, I got an e-mail from my dad. He is flying from JFK to LAX. As is typical for our family, he e-mailed all of us.
Dear Family,
Sitting in the row in front of me on the plane is Detective Mike Logan (AKA Chris Noth) of Law & Order fame. This is not a TV sighting, it is a real human being. Just thought I would let you know.
(Emphasis added)
This scenario reminds me of the time I bought lactose free milk. (Read about it here.) In our family, we like to tease. And when we don't have anything current to tease about, we draw up old stories that never seem to lose their humor.
