I have one......
I once saw my favorite actor of all time in a little tiny theater in London, just by chance, because he was in town with his family and his son was performing down the street. No one seemed to recognize him at first. He was just another patron, there with his family to take in a show and maybe do some Christmas shopping. (It was over Thanksgiving weekend)But being my favorite actor, I noticed him right away. He was with his wife and 2 boys, just quietly meandering through the lobby of the theater waiting for the doors to open. We all stood and chatted amoung our groups and I contemplated what to say to him. I didn't want to be that annoying fan that ruined his night with his family. So, I was running through all the different things I could say to him without sounding like a completely idiotic crazy fan. But I just could not bring myself to turn around and face him to say hello. Instead, once everyone was seated I stalked him and watched his every move and even then, i was swimming in regret for missing my one chance in life to talk to Tom Hanks. How, in all the places, in all of time and all of the famous people out there......... did I come to be in same place with Tom Hanks in a situation where I could have simply said hello and shook the mans hand. The Gods were giving me a present that night and I just turned away. But I did learn one thing......take every opportunity you get, cause it may be your last one.
........don't forget yours
