I Met John And Ashleigh Hopkins at LAX!
Wow!
What a treat!
The day after Javelin runs his first roadrace, I am headed to LAX to catch a flight to Boston on business. I am sitting outside on a bench and a limo pulls up right next to me. Out gets Bill Maher! I said a quick hello and a wave and he reciprocated. I though that was cool and headed on to the terminal to head for security.
I am walking between first and economy check-in and this guy and gal are walking by me and he looks strangely familiar. He then looks straight at me as I walk by and it was The Hooligan _ John Hopkins and his wife Ashleigh. They were just passing through on their way back to Miami from China. I immediately stopped them and started a discussion. It must have been 10 or 15 minutes we were talking and they were the nicest people. I told them all about Javelins racing and his admiration for John and Kawasaki!!! They were both pleased to discuss this and we went on for awhile. Ended up taking my picture with him on my cellphone and then Ashleigh took another one with her camera. Hopefully, we will get a chance to meet them again when I have Javelin with me. Jav was happy that I got to meet him but of course bummed that he wasn't there too.
Awesome and so close to Javelin running his first race that it has to be a good omen.
