(It occasionally happens....) It makes me remember that keeping quiet is often the best tactic. ;-) I don't have problems apologizing for mistakes; but having to apologize for acting like an ass?

Not that I LIKE doing it, don't get me wrong, but part of why my office loves me is that when I screw up, I will walk up to management and tell them "Okay, I looked into it and the only reasonable answer is that I screwed this up. I'm sorry. I'll do my best to fix it." So far, at work, there's no screw up I've not been able to fix. In my personal life ... I wish people were as easy to fix as bad code! And not everyone wants to be fixed... I'm really comfortable accepting personal guilt.

You're not alone. That said, I'd SO much rather "have" to say "You're welcome" than "I'm sorry". I always feel "bad" if I have to admit "guilt". :oops: Hmmm...may be the topic of my next blog!

She's a hard sell to really fan an actor, and was won over by just how much Jorja's the kind of person we like in general (advocate, earthy, personable, funny). Billy was with his wife, and I'm not sure if he was surprised I didn't want a photo with him. I went up and asked for his autograph for my friend's mom, and then he looked confusedly at me, as if expecting 'And one for me too!' when Jorja walked up to introduce us. I snapped the pic of them together and made no motion like I wanted one with both of them. There was another serious Billy fan there, who was trying to get a pic with him, and I offered to take her photo with him, but by that point, Billy and Jorja (and friends) were sneaking off to their hotel rooms to hang together, so I got that last pic with Jorja, wished her a good night, and sat on a couch for a while, soaking in the whole night. I saw them all headed to the elevators together, gabbing away like old friends. No worries :) Mrs. Ipstenu wasn't a huge Jorja fan until Saturday night, as it happens!

Anyway, I wanted to congratulate you on finally getting to meet Jorja--being a friend of someone else who has met her a number of times I know that she's truly a class act and someone I'd also love to meet. When I initially read about this event and that Jorja was such a big part of it--I just knew Billy would show up. Chicago/animals/Jorja. One of the things I love most about them both is their obvious love for animals. Such a great pair, really :grin: Ok, I'm overtalking... So, a couple of questions, was Billy there with his wife, or alone? He seemed surprised that you didn't want his pic? I find that funny, really....Did they hang together long? I know, I know, questions, questions...Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work!

I mean, a lot of people posting here are friends (online or in person) and sharing is just second nature! I just don't want to sound like I'm bragging!
