Look who Joni and I met in Denver this week?


That's right- Charles Barkley, who played in the NBA around the same time as Karl Malone. He played for Philadelphia 76ers and was on the same dream team of the olympic basketball team as Malone and Stockton.

Joni and I and her co-worker were checking in our luggage at curbide checkin when a limo pulled up and out came Charles and a woman. I didn't see him first, I just heard his voice. He has a distinct voice. So anyway, I looked at him and noticed him right away and whispered to Joni who it was. When we were done checking our bags, I walked right up to him, extended my hand and said, "Hello Charles." He shook my hand and Joni's and was very sweet and cordial. I was star struck to see him but it was fun to run into him. He was awesome in the NBA during that time.
