My former colleague Dale Ulland (such a nice guy!), a Denver Post copy editor, recently had a close encounter of the celebrity kind. He posted this on Facebook:
“Oh, you know, was just browsing the shelves at Old Firehouse Books in Fort Collins, and this woman accidentally bumps into me – heck, I almost spilled my Diet Coke. She apologizes profusely, and I recognize her as . I ask how her book, “And the Good News Is …” is doing. She says, ‘Not bad.’ Long story short, we sit down at a nearby table and talk for what seems like an hour, all the while sharing some croissants and OJ. As I get up to leave, she asks, ‘Dale, would you like a signed copy of my New York Times list best-seller?’ I say, ‘Sure!’ (I mean, what else COULD I say?) And then she hands her cellphone to the store manager, who snaps a photo of us. Pretty cool. Celeste (Dale’s wife) and I hope to have her over for chips and salsa soon.”
