I saw two celebrities in two days in NYC

Yesterday I saw the great Mark Messier filming a motorcycle commercial. Today I saw actor Joe Lo Truglio when he was waiting to cross the street. He is on Brooklyn 9-9 and has been in a lot of great movies. I said hi and let him know I was a big fan.

It's not the first time I've seen celebrities around, but seeing two in a row was cool.

This is what makes NYC so much better than LA and other cities in terms of celebs. The celebs are walking around with everyone else. In LA they are in a car.

They hang out around town, too. Telluride as well.

I think the mega mega rich still do Vail, but the celebs love Aspen.

if you stand on a street corner in London long enough, you'll see the royal family (some one). Saw the Queen and Prince Philip two times in one day. They were out promoting English businesses.

He apparently had a ladyfriend who lived right on Mom's floor!

Mom also once saw Rue McClanahan riding the bus uptown.

had the unpleasant task of waiting on Jack Klugman (who was on Quincy at the time) and Brett Sommers. He was cocked and nasty to everyone including me. Brett was horrified and apologetic, she also tipped me VERY well.

I still watched and loved Quincy he was great in it.
