First Class With Lea Thompson

[kelmac07]

Had to come back to Alaska for work again and my "trek" was a long one indeed. Started out at Norfolk, Va and finished in Fairbanks, Ak...some 21 hours later. Stuck in JFK for a diverted plane...but this is where it got interesting. This gorgeous red headed woman that looked identical to Lea Thompson sits down beside me and is cursing under her breath at the flight delay. She asks a few questions about the reason and what not...so we chat for a few minutes. Then the gate changes at the last minute and she doesn't hear it...so I walk back over to her and let her know. She thanks me and smiles that gorgeous smile!!! Well, I look at my ticket and notice that I am flying in First Class for the first time ever...so I am already stoked!! Guess who sits next to me on the ride from JFK to Seattle??? That gorgeous red head!! By now I have to tell her that she looks identical to Lea Thompson, she leans over and whispers "That's because I am her. Don't tell anyone because you are the only person all day that has noticed." We chatted on and off the entire flight. She is very down to earth and very personable. My favorite movie with her is "Some Kind of Wonderful". Well, we get to Seattle and both our connecting flights have already left. So there we are again...we chatted some more and then it was time to get on my way. She gave me a wink and said that "It was great meeting you". I said likewise and we parted ways. Knucklehead me didn't think to get a photo with her, an autograph...I was mesmerized by those eyes and that red hair. That definetly made 19 hours of airport BS tolerable.
