Brush with greatness

I had dinner with Jon Gruden tonight.

Not really.

He was sitting at the table next to us. I'm not very observant, and wouldn't have even noticed if my husband hadn't pointed him out.

I wanted his picture, but I didn't want to bother him, as he was eating with his wife and kids and probably gets tired of being harassed. But my sister-in-law didn't care. She just turned around and started having a conversation with him. Then she asked if we could take his picture.

He asked if he could go to the restroom and walk his family out first. I was sure he was just trying to get away from us, and wouldn't be back. But he came back a few minutes later.

The quality of the picture is not very good, as it was taken with a cell phone. Not to mention she got more of me than him in the picture.

What a nice guy for putting up with us during a family dinner, without acting the least bit annoyed.
