Star Struck

I went to the holiday luncheon. Everyone brought a gift for the gift exchange. People could open gifts or steal from others. I've never participated in such a vicious gift exchange. I had a grand time.

Dan Rather came to our office today to interview Bonnie (the District Attorney) regarding medical marijuana. I guess he was here a while ago for this piece, but they decided to expand the story to an hour feature, so they came back for another interview. They shot a scene with Bonnie and Dan Rather walking down our hallway. I accidentally walked in the hallway, saw Dan Rather's back, gasped and ran into an office. I was very embarrassed. No one came and told me that the hallway was closed for 5 minutes. Paul (the Communications Director) asked if they wanted to reshoot it and Dan Rather said it was okay because it looks more natural.

I was so star struck. I shook his hand. He was so nice. He called me, "Ms. Liu". I usually hate that, but it was nice to hear Dan Rather call me Ms. Liu. I wish I could just have coffee with him. He's seen so much; he must have so many stories to share.

Here's a picture of JJ, Dan Rather and giddy me:
