Throwing My Weight Around. . .

I saw this kind of post on one of the forums that I read and I thought it was funny. So here it goes . . . Famous People with whom I Have Loosely Come Into Contact:

1. My mother knows Gerald McRainey's ex-wife's mother. Before he married Delta Burke.
2. My dad played golf with Meredith Viera's brother.
3. I spent the night in an apartment that was once rented by Gwyneth Paltrow, back when she was dating Brad Pitt.
4. My husband once saw one of the N Sync guys in the jon.
5. I used to think I was related to Ulysses S. Grant, but since I've done some family research, I don't think that's true anymore.
6. My dad once took the place of Lee Trevino in the Senior Open.
7. I've seen Billy Joel, Elton John, Harry Connick Jr., Bryan Adams, Foreigner, Garth Brooks, Shania Twain and probably some other performers I am forgetting in concert.
8. My husband once asked Harry Connick Jr. a question and was actually answered.
9. Saw Joe Lieberman in Georgetown once, and I'm pretty sure I saw Alan Greenspan at the Tyson's Corner mall.
10. I once annoyed John Updike.
11. I saw Bill Clinton, Nancy Reagan, George W. Bush, George HW Bush, Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford from very far away at the opening of the George HW Bush Library at Texas A& M.
12. I've visited the graves of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and John F. and Robert Kennedy.
Edited to include - 13. My mom just told me that my dad said that my grandfather played semi-pro baseball in Minneapolis.
and 14. Powers Booth!!! How could I forget him? Played Cy on the HBO series "Deadwood". When Rob and I were in Paris on my 32nd birthday, we took a dinner cruise down the Seine and he was on it! We said hello at the end. :-)

I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting, but none that pops into my head. This has little to nothing to do with Ben, but I thought we all needed a break. Summer school starts next week. Hooray!
