These occasions where normally at dinner or strolling around. In the end, I value my privacy, so why not value theirs. In any case, there was one time I could not stop myself. I was at LAX coming back from SFO and saw Ruben Blades walking down towards me. I have always liked his music but the man is a total renaissance man. I introduced myself, shuck his hand and continued on. He smiled, introduced himself back. Thank me for the kind words and continued on his way. I have always cherished that moment.
