This is a picture of my sister Annie in Rome from a few years ago when she and her husband John stayed there with friends for about a month. The longer you're in Rome, of course, the greater your chances are of meeting a big shot.
Annie is not a groupie. She barely knows what People magazine is and rarely watches TV. Like me, she lives in another world, and it's not populated with movie stars or politicians or other such creatures
Annie is big on seizing the moment, so when Fabio appeared in her path that summer in Rome, she said hello and received a warm, friendly hello and hug in return. And yesterday when John Travolta appeared in the fitness club that Annie and John frequent, she also said hello and received an equally warm, friendly hello and hug in return.
Annie is quite the dancer, but, no, she and John Travolta didn't pair off (no, at that precise moment he wasn't wearing his famous white suit!), though she could have given him a run for his money. Nor did she get a picture of the two of them together, but it was still an awful lot of fun.
That's my sister Annie! Seizing the moment and enjoying every second of it! To life! No wonder I look up to her!
