Celebrity Sighting

I was in Westlake at Crocker Park and the Promenade to exchange an umbrella at Eddie Bauer. The clerk who waited on me yesterday recognized me and told the clerk to make the exchange. He had trouble doing the exchange because a coupon was involved. Another clerk was able to help him, so my upgrade to a better umbrella was successfully processed. It was just two dollars more, but I plan to enjoy the umbrella.

Since I was between buses, I had lunch at Bruegger's Bagels. I had the Cafe Mandarin Medley Salad and Cherry Coke. The salad was not bad for $4.99. A bagel will be on the plate if I return someday.

After lunch and before catching buses to go downtown, I stop at Borders Books. I did not have time to look around! Before going into the store, I recognize a very well-known media personality. He was wearing a Fox 8 polo shirt. I then heard him speak! It turned out to be Dick Goddard, legendary weatherman for most of the last fifty years in Cleveland Television (He briefly worked in Philadelphia in 1965-1966.). He was with one person! Unfortunately, I didn't speak to him, let alone take a picture (I didn't have Bob's camera, anyways.). The most famous person who I have met and who has been in my house is Fox News Channnel's David Lee Miller. He was on WKYC (NBC) in Cleveland in 1982 when he interviewed my father after he bought a car that turned out to be stolen. I was eleven at the time. I have seen other celebrities since then, but he is the biggest one I have ever met!

Once I reached downtown, I went to the Main Branch of the Cleveland Public Library. Mass at St. Leo Church in Cleveland and relaxation at home rounded out the day. Ironically, rain appeared today, but it was nothing like the thunderstorm that Bob and I encountered on our trip yesterday. It was only rain by the time that we made it to Crocker Park. The rain had ended by the time I exited the bus today!

This was a day to remember!
