it pays to recycle

as many of you may know, sara and i started to recycle again. what that means is that on a semi-regular basis, we have to drop off that recycling on her campus at U of M - College Park. well, today, that trip was made a little more exciting.

as we pulled up to the recycling center, a green Ford Expedition pulls up as i get out of the car. and the gentleman driving the vehicle is pictured on the left, CHARLES S. DUTTON! (click on name for bio) i recognized him immediately and thoroughly embarrassed myself and said, "is your name charles?" he said yes, then asked me for directions to Byrd Stadium. i said i had no clue, but my "roommate" goes to school here.

i walk up to her window and say, "hey, it's the garbageman." she looked confused, but then when she approached him, she said, "aren't you roc?" she proceded to give him the directions to the stadium. he call us both lifesavers, shook our hands and asked our names. as he drove away, sara turns to me and says, "I GAVE HIM THE WRONG DIRECTIONS!!!"

all i keep thinking is that i know i've seen him in other movies and on other shows. but i could only think of him as the garbageman on Roc? i should have complimented him on his guest role on the L Word.
