Campbell Brown and Mr. Campbell Brown
Friday afternoon I was heading back from a business trip to NY. I walked up to the ticket counter at the Marine Air Terminal at LaGuardia, a great place because it's the starting point of the Delta Shuttle. I forgot to buy a ticket so I had to skip the kiosk and actually talk to a person.
I walked up and standing at the slot next to me, doing something, was Campbell Brown and her husband, Dan Senor. For those who do not know, Campbell Brown is the weekend person for the Today Show on NBC. I hate to admit this but whenever I have the TV on during the morning, I often turn on the Today Show. At least until they do some stupid segment on a meaningless topic, at which point I turn it.
So I know who Campbell Brown was. What I didn't know is that she recently married some analyst that I've seen on Fox News but usually just turn off.
Later she got on the flight to Boston. I was wondering how she would get back to NY the next morning for her early show but it turns out the Today Show wasn't on over this past weekend because of the Ryder Cup, a golf tournament that means nothing to rich US golfers.
So anyway, they were both on my flight to Boston but I never talked to her. Seeing someone in person who I usually see on TV is interesting, but I have no more interest in talking to them than I do talking to anyone else on that flight.
Just thought I'd share.
