big city, little mercer, part 2.

while in the city on saturday, we happened to run across a couple of well-known people. first, near NYU on what appeared to be alumni day, we saw chris matthews, who is the blowhard host of some show on one of the thousands of news channels. he was extremely tall and weathered. seeing him reminded pop of something that happened when he was at grad school. during class, word got out that chris matthews was in the building showing his son around. everyone in class perked up and their bow ties spun around. they just had to meet him. pop stayed put and caught up on a reading assignment. yawn.

anyway, we also stopped at kiehl's and as we were leaving, anjelica huston came in. she too was taller than expected and just browsed around the store by herself. just like a real person! it was interesting to see mrs. tenenbaum up close, but not really, if that makes sense.
