But I guess not. Anyway, I'm glad you pulled it out of mothballs and re-published it as it was a really cool story. Not anything unusual about that though. I loved the bit about the little guy kind of rubbing your head but using your spoon as a mirror? That kind of gives a very distorted image doesn't it so how would you have recognized him then?

The ironic thing is that he's still a Sox, so to speak. <br /><br />Anyhow, my favorite part of this story (totally dating myself here...) is that you actually wrote "doy". ROFLMAO.

(All good stuff.)<br />Next, to read the portion about Michael putting his hand on your head and his Mother correcting his behavior and his embarrassment...well, all that brings back so many memories to this Mama. You have sparked some memories that I had almost forgotten, Jim. I smiled at using a spoon as a mirror portion, too. :)) Reading this was a pleasure this morning. I'm glad that you got to meet him (I've never heard of him, but again, learn a lot from reading your blog.) I hope that he gets a chance to read this blog because I think it would bring a warm smile to him.<br />Hugs to you, my friend.<br />J.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-12439194308082612752012-06-26T10:03:20.084-04:002012-06-26T10:03:20.084-04:00what a charming story. thanks so much for sharing...what a charming story. thanks so much for sharing it. and i have to say i love the alphabetical eating idea. you guys are so skilled at making everything either fun or an adventure or both. part of why i adore you both!limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-23321346967225148572012-06-26T09:46:27.036-04:002012-06-26T09:46:27.036-04:00See, Sully, that's exactly what I'd have d...See, Sully, that's exactly what I'd have done (or at least, what I'd want to think I'd have done) - just make some small contact with the human being behind the public celebrity.
