Say hello to 100 people

     To honor 100 days of this crazy idea I thought I would celebrate and say hello to 100 people.  It seemed easy enough but here I am at almost 11pm exhausted.  It had moments that were truly funny like when the man on the bench replied with "Do I know YOU?!?" and a look of horror to compliment the tone.  Other moments were cute.  Young girls tend to answer right back.  But it was sort of sad at one point when I realized that the simple act of saying "hello" to a stranger seemed almost offensive.  They were disconcerted as well...more so when they spotted my Flip.  What kind of society have we become that a hello is a cause for concern? 
    I tried to balance out the system.  Some were texts or bbms.  Some were in person.  I tweeted a few certain American Idol kids.  There were facebook chats and wall messages.  I got really excited when some of you reached out to me to help in my mission.  Thank you for that!!!  I sent a few emails.  I did a "hi by" or two.  Get it?  Huh?  C'mon...it's like a drive by but I said hi.  And then there were the cranks all over town.  So here is the list of the many of you that made my zany little mission possible...and there just might be more to come on the topic.  I've counted several times and am at the cross-eyed point where I keep getting different numbers...there are 100 I promise!(or 101 or 98 1/2)
