Brush with Fame

Okay, maybe that's a stretch.  Today on Main Street Morningstar Foods has a restaurant
with only stand up tables.  They are giving away burgers, chili, drinks and soda.  Apparently they will be open for the entire festival and all the food  is free.  That's right, free.  I walked in and had  a burger with swiss cheese and mushrooms on a wheat bun with a side of chips and iced tea.  At my table I met Claudine Ohayon.  Not a household name, but she has a bit part in a Sundance film entitled Concussion.  She said that she makes her living primarily from voice over work.  We had a really nice time.  Our other dining companion was a professor from the University of Arizona - last name Murphy.  He teaches in the pharmacology program.  He was interesting too (but not famous of course).  My next stop was at a terrific little coffe/teahouse called Atticus.  It was recommended to me by a couple of locals.  I brought my iPad and sat at a counter next to a guy who turned  out to be a local author.  He is a former DC lawyer who now lives in Park City and has made running his livelihood.  He wrote Relentless Forward Progress a book for everyone who thinks that running a marathon is just not challenging enough.  Really.
