  I was catching a bit of Jay Leno before I switched over to the Showtime series Dead Like Me (serious, very quirky and funny - we love it - catch it if you have a chance).
Anyway, some guest on Leno was talking about being six degrees of separation from some celeb. So it popped into my head that I *Love* Mel Gibson. I think he is a manly man, a wonderful family man (now, anyway), handsome (ohhhh those eyes), muscluar body (not body builder, but nice). Possibly his only negative is that he is short - like most Hollywood actors - under six foot. When we go to the theater nearest our house, they have a plaster of his foot and hand prints and a photo of him. I always make a joke to J and R, "there's my boyfriend!". R says that about him to me - and one day, most likely, to a group of people we are standing with who don't know the joke - lol.
Anyway, my friend - from the 'we see them every weekend' - told me her cousin's friend is the private pilot for Mel Gibson!!! So, do you see? I'm only 4 degrees of separation from my boyfriend, Mel Gibson!!!! LOL. Both of my nieces live in Calif. One, H, is a casting director and the other, C, is now a mommy and wife but schooled as a professional chef and before that, was trying to break into acting. Anyway, C met Mel one time! So, really, maybe I'm only 3 degrees from separation?!?!!? Or is that 2????
lol.
When J and I were first married, we were laying in bed and I had my back to him, talking. He told me he was getting up and I said, "Okay, Hon. " He got really angry and said, "Who's Ken???? " I was like, "What? I didn't say anything about a Ken. I don't even know a Ken. I don't think I've ever known a Ken in my whole life! " Well, he had misheard me, but it was too much to just let pass. When he came home from work the next day, I was in bed with a Ken doll (you know, Barbie's boyfriend) on his pillow and was saying, "Oh, Ken!
You little hunk of man, you," etc. He came in to the room, saw the doll and started laughing, then grabbed him and ripped his head off!
lol.
That led to teasing him about Mel. One day when he came in from work he asked what I was watching on TV. It was the Maverick movie Mel made. I told him, being sure to remind him Mel Gibson was in it, then asked, "So, you wanna go make love? " Very indignently, he said, "NOOOOOO!! " LOL. Ahhhhh, what fun.
