On the Road Again

Ben and I are both on the road but not together. We had to get up at 4:30 this morning to catch our respective flights. He's off to Highland Beach, FL to visit his parents and get in some bass fishing, and I'm in Salt Lake City, UT for the ICSC Idea Exchange. I'm pretty sure the boss man is just pushing this conference as an excuse to come to his house here.... Anyway- meetings today and then skiing with clients tomorrow. There are worse work trips to go on, particularly since it's Sundance Film Festival right now- so a great time to be here.

As I was waiting for my driver at the airport- I found myself standing next to Mary Kate Olson. She is tiny in person and was sucking down ciggy after ciggy. I really felt bad though- in a period of five minutes she got harassed by several groups and people were taking pictures of her without asking. It has got to be so annoying. And these idiot women come up with knowing glances asking if she's Ashley or Mary Kate.

It would be hard to have all these strangers feeling entitled to interrupt you or photograph you as if they know you. I should read less gossip- I know I'm the worst offender! I hate it when anyone comes up to me on the street to talk to me. I guess lots of people bring a lot of it on themselves with where they shop or eat, or club or whatever, but the Olsens were whored out by their parents when they were too young to know better. Price you pay for the billions I guess?
