Celebrity Sighting


I spotted Steve Zahn this morning. I recall reading in the Ace Weekly (Lexington's local entertainment paper) that he lived in the area or was considered Lexington's adopted son (something like that), but thought little of it until an actual encounter.

Well, after spotting the guy this morning, I thought I'd do my research and see what he was doing in the area. I immediately went to my favorite movie web site, the Internet Movie Database or IMDb (www.imdb.com), and read his mini bio. Apparently, Mr. Zahn, a Harvard graduate, married a local Lexingtonian (John Peterman's daughter), and resides at a farm near Lexington with his wife and two children.

Did I take a picture, you ask? No, for I didn't want the guy to think he couldn't blend in with the locals. Did I approach him, you ask? Well yes, I did. I used this line: 'Has anyone ever told you that you look like Steve Zahn?'

He responded with, "Well...actually...I am."

I was taken aback, for I didn't really expect it to be him, and responded, "What are the odds?"

His response was, "Not that rare."

Geez, I am such an idiot. Now I am bantering and probably annoying the poor guy. Sorry, Mr. Zahn, but I am preggo and a little star struck. We don't get your kind around here often...

Before I said anything that sounded more stupid, I decided to end the conversation by wishing him well and letting us both get back to our business of shopping. Thanks so much, Mr. Zahn. See you around some time, perhaps.
