More things from my holidays:
So many things I'm forgetting to write, but a couple that just popped into my head and beg to be mentioned:
- I saw the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. It was magnificent. I found myself wanting to cry for no apparent reason other than that it was so beautiful (and funny). The Rockettes are made of awesome. :)
- And I still can't quite get over having actually gotten to shake hands with former president Bill Clinton! Twice! *_* What happened was we went on a "Gospel" tour of Harlem with this really nice old lady and she took us to the Apollo Theatre to attend a church service (it was Sunday). What we didn't know was that it was the Harlem Halleluja service, the first time any church service has ever been held there, and that senator Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill would be there as special guests! *_* There was a whole section kept empty, which happened to be right in front of us, which meant that when they arrived they walked down the row of seats directly in front of us, and we were in perfect position to shake hands in passing by! *_* Well, Bill's, anyway, Hillary didn't shake hands with anyone. >_> Later, when everyone in the audience was invited to hug their neighbour, our tour guide encouraged me to walk to the front and see if I could hug the president. I mean, when else in your life are you ever going to get a chance like that!? I didn't manage to get any farther than a second handshake though, a more proper handshake this time, and I'm happy with that. XD His hands are soft and warm. *_* It's so unreal.
*prepares to dodge rocks of jealousy* XD
