The best part about living in the city is running into people. Today I ran into Michael J. Fox on Rivington. He was checking out a guitar store. I noticed him from nearly a mile away. This is the second time my heart beat so fast when encountering a celebrity. The last was when I ran into Scarlett Johansson at West 4th.

But this was different than Scarlett. This man is responsible for at least 100 hours of entertainment of my life if not more. I’ve watched and own the Back to the Future DVDs and seeing him was just such a treat. I wish I could have spoken to him, but I never speak to celebrities when I run into them. It’s an unwritten New York rule. You let them be. But, what did happen was that I went into the paper-selling store next door. He came in, took a look around, said “excuse me” and then just peaced out.

It was a great moment.
