I ran the Chicago Marathon in 2005 and TSO made the trip out with me. We decided ahead of time that we would go to Harry Caray's for post-race beers and lunch. Shortly after we were seated...an entourage entered...and I noticed that Jessie Jackson was in the middle of the group. They were seated in the back of the restaurant away from the front door and main bar. Some time later, Jessie got up and headed for the men's room. As he was passing our table on the way back to his, I stood up and stuck my hand out. He gave me a firm handshake and I introduced myself and TSO and told him we just wanted to say hello. He actually stood there and chatted with us for a couple of minutes which surprised us. Nice guy. Complex, full life to say the least...and a nice guy to us in that moment.
