Mrs. Kennedy has been seeing famous people all over the place lately. I haven’t seen any famous people recently. But I have seen a few in the past.

1. We went to New York when I was 8 or 9, and I thought I saw some guy from TV.
2. I worked at the Podunkville Cinemas when I was in high school. One night, the manager called and said, “You have to come in right away! Paula Abdul is here!” It was around 9:30 and I was already in bed because I have always loved the nightlife (and liked to boogie). After much pestering from said manager, I got up and drove to the theater where, indeed, Paula Abdul was watching “Desperado” with a guy who, if I were to hazard a guess, was named Larry. He just had that “Larry” look about him. Paula ordered a small popcorn and a Diet Coke. A few months later, Paula and Larry were back to see “Assassins.” Having seen Paula live and in person twice, I can confidently say that she is one of the smallest people I’ve ever seen. She’s wee. But she was nice, nevertheless. I think she signed the “Desperado” poster.
3. Rockford and I were going to a Son Volt concert, and we stopped at Wal-Mart beforehand. When we got in line to check out, Rockford nodded toward the guy in front of us and said, “I think that’s Jay Farrar.” He was buying NyQuil. I said, “That can’t be Jay Farrar. Why would he be buying cold medicine at Wal-Mart?” Because he had a cold, as he told the audience a few hours later at the show.
4. Two nights ago, I dreamed that Bono wanted to make out with me. I refused, even though he was very charming. I also dreamed several years ago that I met Justin Timberlake on the street somewhere, and he took me shopping and bought me lots of fabulous stuff. I have loved him every since.

And here are some celebrity sightings that were not my own:

1. My brother and his girlfriend saw Vince Gill at a guitar shop in Nashville.
2. My father-in-law met Robert Redford at an airport bar and had a drink with him.
3. Rockford saw Julia Roberts at a flea market in Atlanta.

Do you have any Famous People Run-ins to share? I’m 98 percent positive that Amy has at least one story.

I started checking the Web site stats again, and some of the most recent search strings are just delightful. Here are a few things that have brought people here in the last month or so:
