debris4spikeAny of you who have read my stuff, will know I like James Marsters (!), and have a serious case of James-fog when I have had my photo taken with him ... as have many of you who will be reading this.
Anyway, this is to sum up a story that a friend of mine has just sent about Paul Newman -
A Michigan woman and her family were vacationing in a small New England town where Paul Newman and his family often visited.
One Sunday morning, the woman got up early to take a long walk. After a brisk five-mile hike,she decided to treat herself to a double-dip chocolate ice cream cone.
She hopped in the car, drove to the center of the village and went straight to the combination bakery/ice cream parlor.
There was only one other patron in the store:Paul Newman, sitting at the counter having a doughnut and coffee.
The woman's heart skipped a beat as her eyes made contact with those famous baby-blue eyes.
The actor nodded graciously and the star struck woman smiled demurely.
Pull yourself together! She chides herself. You're a happily married woman with three children, you're forty-five years old, not a teenager!
The clerk filled her order and she took the double-dip chocolate ice cream cone in one hand and her change in the other. Then she went out the door, avoiding even a glance in Paul Newman's direction.
When she reached her car, she realized that she had a handful of change but her other hand was empty.
Where's my ice cream cone? Did I leave it in the store? Back into the shop she went, expecting to see the cone still in the clerk's hand or in a holder on the counter or something! No ice cream cone was in sight..
With that, she happened to look over at Paul Newman.
His face broke into his familiar, warm,friendly grin and he said to the woman,
'You put it in your purse.

Date: 2008-10-23 03:37 pm (UTC)i'm lucky i have always managed to say something, 'great concert last night', 'nice to see you' or some such - i think.... Sometimes, i had no idea what i said or indeed what he said to me, but i know i saw his lips move *clench* - such lips... And that warm smile with the handshake...there was a handshake, wasn't there? mmmm, yes, warm hands... *swoon*
