Not Ann Coulter
This weekend I was downtown having coffee with friends at Napa Valley Roasting Company. I like to sit in the windowseat to soak in the the light but this time it proved to be a bad idea. A man walked by, saw me through the glass, and promptly opened the door to the coffee shop.
He shouted, "Are you Ann Coulter?"
"Don't say that!" was my instant reply. It has been a while, but I absolutely hate being stopped and asked that. Although I know our demeanors couldn't be more different, it always irritates me to think that there could be some similarity in looks between me and Ann Coulter.
Even though my friends didn't know who Ann Coulter was they were still comforting. They pointed out that the man may have been a little daft.
As he left he shrugged and said, "Hey, you being Ann Coulter is like me being Frank Sinatra."
Whatever that means...

I still find this crazy.
I knew you before Ann Coulter made the scene. I have watched Ann Coulter on the TV many times (mostly in a state of disbelief) and I have NEVER thought, "Goodness, she resembles Tyler!"
What a strange fellow--complete with Sinatra reference!
Sometimes I think that the worst part about aging is that your frame of reference and therefore your set of allusions become increasingly misunderstood or not understood at all.
I speak in analogy; ergo, I don't want to grow old. Grey hair I can handle. Being misunderstood, I cannot.
^And I think that I just found my new topic for my blog. Thanks, Tyler! :)
