To think I almost changed the channel

In elementary school, there was a boy named Steve Wisneski (I'm sure I've spelled it wrong). He had curly blond hair, and adorable smile and squinty blue eyes. All the girls loved him. He also had a wooly vest that our teacher made us all touch because the texture was interesting. I had the biggest crush on Steve. His family moved away when we were in the 4th grade, or thereabouts, and no one has heard from them since.

Over the years, I have thought of Steve in passing at least once a year or so. I wonder where he ended up, what he became, etc. He was just a really sweet kid and soooo cute. So, I was sitting here at the computer, trying to come up with a blog post when Jeopardy ended and Wheel of Fortune came on. I usually change the channel because, truth be told, I'm a little annoyed by the Wheel these days. However, the remote was across the room and I was typing a note to the Roy. So imagine my surprise when Pat started introducing contestants and STEVE WISNESKI--Yes, the very same one--was the first contestant. He's still cute for a 40+ guy and according to his left hand, unmarried. (although he has a "friend" in the audience with his brother, Dave, and his mom) He didn't win the final puzzle, but he did win $30,000 in cash and prizes. Hey Steve, call me (mimes phone with thumb and pinky).

Everyone has their 15 (or 22) minutes of fame! That is so cool!

Wow. What are the chances of that? Has he called?
