Up until today I’ve only been on the same flight as one public personality — that I’m aware of. At some point in the early 1990s we were flying back to Cleveland to see my family back there.

I went to Boise for work on Wednesday afternoon, and flew back home this afternoon. As I walked onto the plane, and scanned those already seated, I happened to see the current (D) US Senator from Oregon, Ron Wyden. No autographs this time, but I did have to smile when I saw him talking on his iPhone
