There is a slight resemblance. Except you need blue eyes....I guess you could get some of those contact lenses when your hair grays up. Then I think you got something going there. Have you ever thought of sayng, "Well, maam, actually I am Sam Elliot. Have a seat." Then you could make up movie stories. But since you are not a people magnet, that would be a bad idea. And maybe (definitely!) you should not use that line around your wife. At least you have strangers wanting to talk to you. You should be honored. I, personally, have to have a drink before I have the courage to go up to a stranger and talk to them....and then, it's only because maybe they are wearing a Hemmingway or Bengal's shirt.
Thank you for your comment, Kate. It’s nice to look like a movie star, I guess, but I really wish I had a deep baritone voice like Sam Elliott. I would enjoy that very much.
Norm, I have SD, which is called Spasphonic Dystonia. Basically, my vocal cords don't work right and my voice is a problem. I speak ok, but my voice sounds raspy, like I have a cold. That is why I love to write, because I can't speak very well and this is my best way to converse. It is very frustrating as I can't express myself very well orally. I'm just happy I can speak at all. Be grateful for what you have. Kate
I appreciate the comment, Angela. Thank you. It is not false modesty to say it shocks me to hear I have not been forgotten at the library. I’ve been gone for so long. Hope you and all my former library colleagues are doing well. And, thanks for still reading my stuff.

Ha! I described you as resembling ol Sam just last week to our newest librarian! (I was telling her about your excellent book reviews)
