Go ahead. Make my day. (someone just did)

Go ahead. Make my day. (someone just did)
I just took my daughter back to the tiny airport here on the tip of Cape Cod. While we were waiting to check in, who walks in with her parents?

RACHEL MADDOW, that's who!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I chatted with her a little ("hi, I'm Rachel"), and with her parents a little more after she left. One of my MAJOR heroes in American journalism. My wife had no clue who she was (Rachel Maddow is not re-broadcast in German yet), but she could tell I was very excited.

Last April, Howard Dean promised to introduce me to Rachel at some point. I just let him know he was released from his promise.

I come here every year on vacation. Now it's REALLY a vacation!

Holy cow DFW, you have all the luck.

Bet it was really sweet getting to meet and talk with Rachel.

Jaxx, I really wasn't expecting this. She just walked up and I was stunned, stopped in mid-sentence while talking to my wife and daughter. I couldn't believe my luck!

To prepare for when your life flashes before your eyes, make sure it's fun to watch.

I recognize her parents in those pics! Provincetown's airport is tiny, so everyone there sees everyone else there. Looks like they had a great (and successful!) time fishing, too.
