1. My brush with greatness

This was maybe 15 years ago. I'm visiting my brother in Boise, Idaho. It's summertime. It's hot. I go to Dairy Queen, like any normal real american would do! A few people in front of me, so I'm standing in line. As we inch forward, I hear the tall burly man in front of me order a blizzard. "That voice sounds familiar," I think. His blizzard is placed on the counter in front of him, he puts a straw in it, lifts it to his mouth and turns around while he takes his first sip. Yes, it was George Kennedy!
