Work has a "brush with fame" contest where we try to get our picture taken with someone famous. Living in Antrim, NH...this isn't easy. The e-mail below is my entry from yesterday. No reaction yet...and I've put the associated YouTube video at the bottom for easy access.

One other note...Doug Collins and his son Tim are great people--I could not have asked for a better pair to sit next to on a 7-hour flight from London. Great brothers in Christ...

Hi ________,

Although I personally believe it was mostly due to the cultural ignorance of the judges, I realize that my first entry for our "Brush with Fame" photo contest [Ashade Pearce] did not fare well.

Thus, I am proud to submit my second one, here pictured with Doug Collins:

It's a little hard to see...but as I was also ready to head to bed here in England, it was time for Augie to do so back in the U.S. (5 hours "earlier").  He was getting fussy (part of the reason we knew it was bed time), so I made strange Donald Duck noises (and others) to entertain him.  What you see here is him laughing.

Technology really can make the world seem much smaller...
