At lunch
today Anna and I were in Zama Mexican Restaurant sitting a booth about 15 to 20 feet feet away
were two women eating lunch and talking.
The lady facing me looked about my age and I sensed something familiar
her.
"Were
we classmates? "I wondered. I
thought we both have aged and don't recognize each other.
The heck
with it! I am going to march up to their
booth and ask, "Do I know you?"... or should I say, "I know you
from someplace - were you brought up in Marietta?"
Hmmm.
I thought I
better go talk to her before I lose my nerve.
Then she
said something to her companion and smiled, showing her teeth.
Then I
recognized her likeness. She is not one
someone I knew or thought was in my memory bank.
She looked
very much like Penelope Wilton, the lady who plays Isobel Grey, a.k.a. Baroness
Merton, in Downton Abbey.
Whew! Just another time I dodge making a fool of
myself.
