Topping off a perfect week: I just met Stephen Colbert!
The story: My daughter is at the age where she's looking at high schools. She's an actress, so she's interested in the drama departments. Tonight, on a whim, we decided to go to a play at my Alma Mater. I'd once learned that Colbert's two kids currently attend the school, but didn't think anything of it. Turns out, both were performing in the play. I didn't see Stephen as we entered, but on our way out I walked right past him.
Understanding that he was here for his kids, I didn't want to take much of his time. So I simply turned to him, said hello, shook his hand, and told him it was a pleasure meeting him. He just smiled and said "Likewise".
How cool is that?

For obvious reasons (look to the left!) I'm not surprised to hear that, but I really am glad that my suspicions have been confirmed.
