Julia Smiles

I went to one of my obligatory holiday romantic comedies last night. Jami and I saw Four Christmases with Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon. It was pretty Dutch (medium) with a few laughs delivered by Jon Favreau as Vince Vaughn's mixed martial arts obsessed brother and, of course, Vaughn himself turning mediocre lines into comedic gold.

Jami and I were crossing the street on our way home from the theater when a young woman walked up next to us. I'm not real good with the celebrity spotting. When you go to an airport with John Roberts, he will recognize at least four celebrities. Michael Jordan will walk by and I'll just think, man that guy is tall. Yesterday was an exception. Julia Stiles made eye contact with each of us and then smiled at Jami. I immediately recognized her. She's smaller than I would expect (aren't all celebrities?) and stunning. I love New York.
