Before heading for vacation in Japan and Taiwan, newly doctored Dr. Vivian Tang met Ashwini and I for dinner at Nathalie Thai. While enjoying some interesting conversation and delicious Thai cuisine, Ashwini spotted quite possibly the greatest sports hero of our generation: Lakers sharp-shooting point guard, Smush Parker. After a few moments debating whether Ashwini had the intestinal fortitude to actually approach this demi-god, she made her way to his table and graciously asked for a photo. As if the notion was even possible, our night of super star celebrity sightings would get even more memorable. You see, after interrupting the man and his friends during their dinner to take a cell phone picture, Ashwini walked away adding, “I guess I should tell you that I’m a Suns fan now”. The look on Smush’s face was priceless. Were he not too busy adjusting his random college basketball hat slightly off-center, he most certainly would have stabbed her in the throat.
The countdown begins for next May when Ashwini leaves LA. How many celebrities will we see before then? Only time will tell.
