Murray Christmas!!

It was two days before Christmas and I was at the San Diego Airport picking up my folks. They had a few bags checked so we walked over to the baggage claim. We were only there for few moments. I had just asked them how the flight was when my Mom all of a sudden says to me, ” Hey that’s Bill Murray over there.” My Mom always thinks she sees famous people every where we go.  But, it is never who she thinks it is.  I started to turn my head and respond, “No, Mom that’s not…. Holy Shit! It is Bill Murray!”

I kept telling myself, “The last thing he wants is to talk to a fan right now.” But, I realized that he was just standing there waiting for his baggage.

My parents bags came out really quickly, so I grabbed them and we were about to leave. I kept telling myself, “The last thing he wants is talk to a fan right now.” But, I realized that he was just standing there waiting for his baggage. Next thing I knew, there I was introducing myself. He was really friendly. I mentioned that I was originally from Upstate New York and how much I miss it lately, (He is also from Upstate New York) and told him how much I like his movies.

I didn’t want to make him miss his bags so I tried to keep it really short. I asked if I could get a picture with him. In the first photo, I have my arm around his waist like he was my prom date or something and we are both making really weird faces.  I asked him, “Is it weird that I have my arm around your waist like you were my Prom Date?” He laughed and said it was in fact kind a weird and that we should take another. So we took another photo, and said good bye.

I don’t remember driving home from airport. I was so excited I couldn’t get to sleep that night.  I stayed up watching Bill Murray movies, and kept them on for the rest of the week.  They were on while we cooked Christmas dinner and while we opened presents.  I think it is safe to say, that I started a new  family tradition.
