Item! Don Polec Spotted in Paris!

It's probably a statement on my mental condition that I was about as star struck as I have ever been with the prospect that Action News' own Don Polec (from the ever-entertaining "Don Polec's World") was booked on our Giverny bike tour today. I had visions of swapping stories about our respective experiences as "newsies" (avid Dan Slawe fans will recall that I was featured on the "opening credits" segment for at least one half-second in 1981). But, alas, Wacky Don (as I've just begun to call him) was booked on LAST week's Giverny tour and was unable to attend (I guess Don and I have something else in common). Ah, what could have been - me and Don, riding side-by-side (maybe there would even have been a two-man bycicle) wind blowing through our hair..... but it was not to be. I guess you might say Don really made a good first "impressionist." Maybe if he offered the tour guide a little more "Monet," he could have snuck on. Daniel Slawe, Action News.
UPDATE: He's here! Ol' Don was undeterred by the bike tour snafu and made the trip to Giverny anyway (remind you of a certain Versailles-tour-missing pair?). I was able to profess my fandom and even catch some Polec wit ("If I take my glasses off it looks just like the paintings.") Classic.
