January 7: Anna!

I was so excited today get a call from one of my favorite people ever: Anna! As you may recall from my first post, Anna was the inspiration for this blog. We finally were able to catch up this evening after a few days of phone tag, and while talking about how "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is so similar to "Forrest Gump," she reminded me of this anecdote.

I laughed today when I was talking to Anna about the time a bunch of us were watching "Forrest Gump" on the way to a USY convention. In one scene, Lt. Dan is missing several important limbs, and then he disappears from the movie for awhile...and when he shows up a few scenes later, this exchange actually took place with one of the people who was watching the movie:
(Lt. Dan comes on the screen, with a very obvious difference in his appearance)
Nikki: "Look, Lt. Dan got a haircut!"
Anna: "Yeah...and legs!"
