Stars-it's a terminal 3 thing baby

I have seen a fair share of celebrities in the seven plus years that I have lived here. A lot of them, if not all, have been documented on this blog. When I see these people I think, people will be excited to hear about this on the blog, but there hasn't been too many people I have been excited to see myself.  That was until going through security at LAX.

I hear the TSA security guards joking around, random whispers about Star Trek, Reading Rainbow and a guard who says loudly.

"Hey man, you taught me how to read"

I pass by him with all of my carry-on items and shoes balanced in my arms. I see LeVar Burton. It was kind of emotional the reaction I had. It felt strange, I was so star struck, so happy. I loved Reading Rainbow when I was a kid. I loved reading so much, I still do, and I think a lot of that had to do with that show. How it opened your imagination by reading.

I really wanted to say something to him, how much that show meant to me, how much I loved his interview on the new Larry King show with Bill Nye on the state of education in this country. I didn't, I figured it would come out as a jumble of words and leave me misty eyed, for no reason really.

Have any of you been watching Mad Men? I have seen every episode. Things have really come out of left field this season. A great addition though to this season is Harry Hamlin. You may remember him from LA Law perhaps. He was in first class on my flight and he is very handsome.
