Ok, so this is something that would be more common in LA, so I thought it was appropriate for this tribe.

Shari and I were at La Guardia last thursday waiting for our flight to Puerto Rico (via Atlanta), and were sitting at our gate eating some breakfast.

Shari walks away for a bit, and I find myself staring at the man sitting behind her. He was kinda hunched over, wearing glasses, and somewhat "bundled up". I swear, I almost said to him "has anyone ever told you that you look like Spike Lee?" But I thought to myself, nah, this guy looks to old to be Spike Lee, and I should just leave the dude alone. Shari comes back, and at about the same time some guy at the counter walks over and starts talking to the man about basketball. We then realize that it _is_ in fact Spike Lee. Heheh ... Shari actually thought it was a _woman_ at first because he was all hunched over (trying to be inconspicuous I guess).

It seemed like a very New York moment ... sitting next to Spike Lee in La Guardia, waiting for a flight to Puerto Rico. Too bad we weren't eating bagels & lox for breakfast!

    ed! don't you know that you always take things with you from places you've lived?

    when i went to spain, the weather was great--in l.a. the weather was HORRIBLE while i was gone. as soon as i left, the weather got worse in spain. now it's sunshiny in portland, i guess i was supposed to go there next...
