Anyway on my way home I decided to go ahead and stop and get some groceries. I have $5 off coupons at Publix, so I decided to swing by the one in Vestavia because it was on my way. I have a theory that 99% of the time Im just a single moment either behind or ahead of fate. Example: I walk out of my apartment just in time to see a really attractive neighbor close the door to her car. "Dangit... I had to go back and get that change off my dresser." One split second earlier and I might be married. Stuff like that happens to me EVERY DAY. Im cursed I think. Well not yesterday, thats for sure. I grab my cart and start the time trial. Im a fast Publix shopper. I head straight for the bread and who is standing there getting the same kind of bread that I want? Devon Walsh. That's right Devon Walsh from Fox 6 News.
I knew it was her because I'd actually met her before. Fox 6 used the studio at Ticheli's where I'll work for another week to shoot some Christmas promo junk. Screw you one moment off fate curse, I win this round. I smile and get my bread and go on about my business. But then I make the turn to go get some other necessities, and there she is again. Lucky. It was pretty awesome. I never did talk to her, but that was ok. I figured she didn't want to be pestered anyway. She is taller than I remembered, at least as tall as me, maybe a little taller.
I got a kick out of it. Devon Walsh is the second attractive news lady that I've met. I've also met Kate Mundy (42 and 21 weekends). I met her at a Halloween party, and she is very small... I mean she is a tiny person. Its always neat seeing someone in real life that talks to you from the TV. Each night at 5, 6, 9 or 10 they look right at us and tell us all about the junk that passes for news in our fair city, this time I got to look back and smile and imagine how funny it would be were I to flip out and cause a scene. That would have been something to blog about.

I totally can't relate. As you know, we have no TV. The picture looks nice though.
Also (FYI) taller women usually intimidate me. I don't know why, it just happens.
Now that's pretty awesome! Publix is the place to shop, they even have a somewhat thorough healthy section. Maybe you'll marry like a sweet News anchor lady! I do think that it would be funny seeing you make a scene, hooting and hollering in the bread isle.
Jason, I'm with ya, dude. Talking about running into news-anchor celebrities, I was on the golf course about two months ago when I came up behind these two guys that were really bad. They invited me to go ahead and play with them, and one of them happened to be Jeh Jeh Pruitt, who also works with Fox 6. He's one of the worst golfers I've ever seen.
I met Fran Curry at the butcher counter at Fresh Market. She's teeny and sweet.
If you say the first attractive anchor in B'ham is Brooke Smith, I'm going to vomit.

My wife saw Eric somebody (one of the local newscasters) at the car wash. Another person also saw him and said, "Hey, aren't you Eric [muffled sound]?" He said, "No, you have me confused with someone else."
That reminds me -- we watched "Anchorman" a few nights ago when I was sick. That was a really awful movie but with a few good laughs. Jason, maybe you could ask the TV people you encounter what they thought of Will Ferrell's hilarious sendup of their profession.
gene... i like tall ladies just fine, so fear was not a factor in talking to her. Thanks for sharing your fears.
jeff... if news ladies want to marry me bring 'em on. there will probably be other criteria that i'd consider, but news ladies definitely have a leg up.
rick... congrats on beating a sports caster in golf, you may have a future playing in celebrity charity classics.
su... congrats on meeting fran curry. i think the first attractive anchor in B'ham is Kate Mundy, but as for referring to Mrs. Walsh as #2, that's just the order that i've met news personalities... well seen in public (or publix) i didn't actually meet her.
john... if i get the chance i'll ask tv people about anchor man. i'll do the same if i run into nascar personalities.
brain... alabama football is very important business, especially on the highschool level. i'm surprised that you californians aren't up to speed on it. maybe it isn't as refined as you'd lead us to believe. and yes gene should get a tv, especially since football season is approaching.
NBC used to have the best one in town, Elizabeth Artz. Debra Des Vignes also looked very good in person. I've never found Devon attractive, possible due to her opaque skin.
