Keanu Reeves spotted eating Ice Cream in the Plaza District

Here's some excellent news to brighten your day (or night).

Keanu Reeves – a famed Hollywood actor from a lot of movies I've watched, and even more that I haven't watched – was spotted in the Plaza District yesterday eating an ice cream cone, which seems like a beautiful thing to do on a soft, beautiful spring day in Oklahoma City.

We know this because people shared these photos on social media and someone tagged us in them:

You have to admit, it would be kind of cool to be hanging around town and have the dude from the Matrix movies, Speed, Bill and Ted's, Point Break, and tons of other stuff just eating an ice cream cone like it's no big deal.

In fact, every time I see a story like this, I get a little bummed and jealous. I've lived in Oklahoma City for nearly 42 years and I don't think I've ever had an encounter with a legitimate national celebrity. Now, I have walked by a couple of tall NBA players downtown, barhopped with a pair of party-loving Biggest Losers champs, and once became acquainted with a girl who was in town competing in the 1997 Kerr-McGee Elite Pro-Am swim meet, but I don't think any of those counts. I'm talking a real bonafide celebrity.
