Normal People

I like to think that I don't get star struck, but I find that I enjoy seeing people that have made their faces known quite well in their respective areas. When I went to general conference a year ago I was star struck by the first presidency and the 12. That was an amazing thing and I don't think that I would get much more star struck than that for the rest of my life. But I was thinking about this today as I was going to the gym and not 5 seconds before I go into the gym, a Nobel prize winner walks into the gym. How great is that? I thought that this was a great thing because that man was just going to the gym like any other normal person. He was wearing an old Utah shirt and sweat pants. Nothing to say "I won a million dollars last year" I know that the money usually goes toward further research into the subject that it was given, but that isn't mandatory. It was just nice to see an important person as normal. But I have to say it was fun to share a gym with someone that I admire in the field of science.
