Star-struck
I was asked the other day: "who was the last famous person you saw?" And I didn't know. The problem living here is that unless it's someone 'really' famous then I'm not going to recognise them. A soap star, a hockey player, an American pop singer, it ain't going to do it. Although the occasional 300lb black guy draped in jewels getting out of a pimped up Bentley on Rush Street is usually a giveaway.
Anyway my point is last night we went to dinner to a very nice place called Table 52, Art Smith's tiny restaurant, which has a 4-week waiting list for a table - there are only 16 - and sat next to Sarah Jessica Parker. How about that? My most famous Chicago sighting since I saw David Schwimmer in Bloomies.
I didn't notice her as I hobbled past on my crutches, but my star-struck other half did. I have always been pretty neutral to SJP, as I now call her, but my was she pretty and petite. And a quick check on Wiki, 43-years old. No way. ¶ 09:05
