[BringBackJoeT]

Well, as you can probably guess, I am very jealous. Glad you got to meet him.

While JoeT would be the ex-Skin I'd most like to have such a chance meeting with, I'm satisfied with my "runner-up"--Riggo. Last July, he walked into the Vino Volo bar in the Baltimore airport while my wife and I were having a drink while waiting for our flight. At the time, the airport was pretty empty, and, along with my wife and I, there were only two other people in the bar. So, I used the relative emptiness to justify going right up to him and introducing myself. He was very cool about it. I then went back to my table, realized that we had our camera with us, and went right back up to him and asked him whether he'd mind if my wife took a picture of me with him. While he was cool when I went up to him myself when he first walked in, he became even more animated when my wife got involved in the scene. He introduced himself to my wife, and then, after she took the picture, asked her whether it was a good shot and joked with her for a bit. Afterwards, my wife joked that I was lucky to have her with me at the time. No doubt, it was true. Regardless, I needed about an hour to calm down from the experience. Funny how the sports stars you root for as a kid will do that to you.
