The Banker was a no-show

Mom and Howie sat at a table across the aisle from Howie Mandell at dinner last night. Howie (too many "Howie"s for one post!) recognized him first, as, inexplicably, he has the same eye for finding celebrities in random places as I do. Rumor has it that Mandell lives nearby to the deli where Mom and Howie ate, and that his wife owns a shop or something in the area, too.
I find this noteworthy because Brian and I have become quite obsessed with Deal or No Deal, and because Mandell looks pretty cool with a bald head and soul patch. Mom didn't have any Us Weekly gossip about the dinner, Mandell or his eating companions -- it was just enough that they saw him, eating dinner, being all normal, and not torturing someone by saying, "And we'll see what's in that case ... (long pause) ... right after the break ..."

actually, we were in the booth right next to their booth - no aisle to get in the way- Mrs had a salad and the other man at the table blocked my view of what the banker had on his plate...sorry!
