ham and cheese

And now, with apologies to Paul Harvey, here is the rest of the story: WBIR's Abby Ham saw me taking her photo from a distance on Tuesday. She waved me over and recognized me as she did. You might recall that she once sent a camera to an Einstein Simplified show. I said hi and immediately introduced my long-suffering wife to Abby and Bill Williams. Abby started the conversation by complimenting our improv group's recent appearance on "Live at Five." I responded by telling her about her number one ranking in the search results on Bean's Blog. We chatted for a few more seconds before she and Bill had to begin their broadcast. I said something about hoping she understood the attempted humor in my many blog entries about her.

My wife and I had walked to World's Fair Park from the parking garage with our camp chairs slung over our shoulders. When I asked Abby and Bill if my wife could take a photo of me with them, I did not know that the strap from the chair had made the collar of my patriotic flag shirt look so stupid. I thought about going back to ask Abby and Bill for a re-shoot but decided against it. They were so nice they probably would have said yes.
