BuffaloGal, I forgot her name - darn! But she was tall and slender, with long dark hair, and when we coaxed a smile, it lit up the room and never faded. I guess that description could be true of a couple thousand other CMs, huh?
Since this thread has totally unraveled ... nanadeb, like I said, Bubba Hiers, was doing this cooking class at a local shop, The Everyday Gourmet, and our kids gave me the class as a birthday present.
So, I'm there. Bubba is in the front of the store signing his cookbook. I spoke to him briefly, then purchased a cookbook and brought it back to him to sign before the class. He signed it, and we were visiting for a minute more, when his cell phone rang. "Let me catch this," he said, and said "how ya doin'?" before saying, "Sis, say hi to my new buddy Tony."
Well, it was his sister Paula Deen. "Hey, Tony!" I'm not one to get tongue-tied, but I was so caught off guard that I choked and just blurted ... something. I don't know what I said. I might've proposed (which would have irritated my wife!). I don't know what I said, but I'm convinced it was totally stupid. Lord. I didn't string together a coherent sentence and handed the phone back. Bubba thought it was pretty funny. I felt like an idiot.
