... because you'll run into people

Who's that Girl?It all started many years ago when I ran (literally ran) into Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe at the Pier Antiques Show.  Her body guard expertly elbowed me out of the way while the actress barreled through the crowd insisting on carrying a coffee table that she had just purchased all by herself.  (It was not a small table and the group of six or seven people with her were clearly agitated by the situation.  Chad looked up at me sadly.  He was very short).  Next was Tim Robbins while Christmas shopping at Utowa (now closed).  I was buying one gift and he had no less than thirty of the same thing in his arms (he was not short and must have a lot of friends).  If you walk around the city at odd hours (like when you should be in your office, at your desk, working) you might find that run-ins are nearly an everyday occurrence.  I shared a chuckle with a salesperson at Barneys when we both spotted Terri Hatcher (super small) in Mrs. John L Strong.  He dished about the last time she was there and all that transpired.  Meadow and I stood in the same checkout line at Buy Buy Baby and I could swear Julianne Moore (tiny and short) is following us ... first at Tompkins Square Park, then in the Village, and a week later in a driveby in her black Ford SUV.  The coup however may be the miniature Madonna and her Guy heading into an UWS restaurant (possibly at the dinner where they civily discussed their separation).  I have to say, its too much fun to keep track of where celebrities are around town and how tall they really are.
