5. I met GS in an elevator in my Georgetown apartment building.

I had my dog Napoleon with me, and we were on our way to take a walk when he got on.

I said not one word to him. I did briefly acknowledge him non-verbally, and before I could inhale, he stuck out his hand and said, "Yes. Yes, I am. George Stephanopoulos."

I was taken aback. I did not shake his hand. I didn't say a word and got off with Napoleon on the next floor knowing that I had just met the absolutely shortest and the most cocky man that I had ever met in my life. And I've met lots.

Of the hundreds of people that I've met in my lifetime, my opinion has survived for years, unchanged.
