It's a Girl: More

I once found myself in a party box at a Red Baron's game with Jack Palance. The circumstances are not important, but all the while I was there I was
determined not to be a dorky movie star a _ _ hole fan and say or do anything stupid. We chit-chatted a bit and that was the extent of it until about the 8th inning when, after about three (or was it about eleven?) Yuenglings (Dick Yuengling was also there) I blurted out, "Ya know what Jack? When Emilio Estevez shot you in the forehead in "Young Guns"? I was friggin' cheering man."

He laughed.

With that embarrassing thought always in mind when I find myself in the presence of famous people I try to err on the side of caution.

Well when Angela Kinsey of NBC's "The Office" visited here...and don't ask me why...she gave me her cellphone number. I've had it for about a year and I have never called her. It would be inappropriate, unwarranted, uncalled for, unnecessary, and I could go on. Still, I've hung onto the number. Well as you know she had her baby, little Isabel Ruby, on Saturday and the temptation was great but I resisted...until today.

I didn't call her. I sent her a text. It said, "Hi Angela, I apologize for taking this liberty with your number but I just wanted to say congratulations! Hope you and baby are doing well! John Webster, Rock107, Scranton." I sent it about 11 this morning.

Then I was walking through the Mall at Steamtown about a half hour later when my text message alert chimed. I checked and it was a reply from Angela! It reads "Thanks John. She is beautiful. I didn't know I could love someone so much. Say hello to Scranton for me. -Angela"

I know I said I try to resist acting like a starstruck moron but it was so cool that she replied. If I was her I might have considered throwing the phone away and getting a new number!
