- ahh what a dreary day…
- the kind that just saps the energy out of you
- so I went for a quick run after the rain stopped
- but time only permitted a short quickie and
- I combined some grocery shopping along with the endorphins which
- didn’t come by way of my short run but in the recognition
- of a young actress at the grocery store…
- she slipped onto the line behind me but noticed earlier somewhere in my subconscious as I passed her twice in the bread aisle and by the juices but
- thought it was just another student that I may have had some contact with at first and
- I was in that rushed mode where I pinpointed my purchases and calculated the shortest line whipping past things like a car chase scene
- but when she appeared as I paid I couldn’t help but not
- focus on her face and she looked down a bit
- and I said, “You look like an actress”
- realizing the silliness of my wording as she withdrew from me
- and weakly said, “Yes…?”
- but something in my demeanor got her to talk as I said
- “I’m trying to place you…” and then said “part of me wants to say movie, but another wants to say TV show…”
- she responded with, “Well, both…”
- and then I pleaded, “Give me a clue?”
- and she pondered between chatting with her pals a bit
- I mentioned this is going to bother me all night now,
- as she gave me her name, “Sarah Steele. You can look me up, this way…”
- I smiled, trying to connect those necessary synapses in vain then
- I bid her “Good Night”
- as I hit the corner, it hit me
- I ran back the half block, got her attention and said, “I remember, Spanglish.”
- as I ran towards home, I thought I wouldn’t have done that if she hadn’t given me her name
- and thought how much I liked that movie.
