so I’m out here in Park City Utah skiing, celebrating my 1 year wedding anniversary (also the reason for the low posts)

In my head, I decided to (somewhat) detach myself from ‘the game’ as I tend to call it. Give my domaining brain a break. To relax on the seo, and not terribly think about work.

sure, domaining and seo thoughts would still creep into my head, but I’d quickly quarantine them.

Last nights dinner reservations were at The Riverhorse on Main, our first meal..

“I’m here to think about nothing…refresh the ole noggin”, I continued to tell myself..

..until, at dinner, Larry Page, cofounder of Google, plus his new wife (I think he married her) stroll in with two other buddies and sit 2 tables away from my wife and I.

‘Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in.’ …All bets are off now. Noggin engaged.

I sat gap jawed.

My wife asked if I was ok.

I didn’t respond.

I had to blink a few times to verify everything.

yup, it was still him.

but I needed proof.

so I pulled my 2 day old iPhone, which I’m still learning.

Slide the button > Camera > Sit Camera on table facing their direction > It’s low light but screw it > Snap 1

>Snap 2

I tried to think of every conceivable way to go say hello, but they all collided with my being rude -which I would have been.

Send him a shot of Tequila?

My wife vetoed that.

So, I was content with leaving him be..

Even billionaires need a nice meal out.

    That is funny, I like the “gap jawed” and non-responsive imagery, although I think you should have included a picture of yourself in that moment. Good food AND billionaire sightings, sounds like you had a great dinner.
