visitors

Those of you who watch more TV than I do (think SNL or House) might recognize these celebrities. I sure didn't as they strolled through the museum recently. A fellow officer had to describe their outfits to me so I would know what to look for when they came back through during my shift. I spotted them (kissing, no less) as they were about to leave. They looked like locals, and technically he is since he's originally from the area, so I would have never known otherwise if someone had not pointed them out. Celebrities or not, they're still humans like the rest of us! Still, I wish I had been around the museum last year when Martha Stewart came through.

Two days after that occurrence, I got a message on my iPod: "I came to the USA". It was from one of my Tibetan friends. I was completely surprised and thought he was joking at first since he had not mentioned anything previously, but he said it happened fast. He came through Kansas City for a few days and went on to study this semester in Arizona, with one of his former teachers. I was really glad to hear at least one of them was able to return and continue studying because I know how important it is to them, especially to be able to go back and teach others. Hopefully the two of us can meet before he returns home in a few months.
