This is another episode of: Being Multi-Racial

So my mom and I are chatting and she tells me all about how Dheeraj, the amiable director at Alfred House where my grandmother is recovering, showed my mother 2 pictures of what looked like identical pictures of my grandmother. (The staff at Alfred House take pictures at celebrations, holidays and birthdays for the bulletin board and Alfred House newsletter.) Except one picture was of my grandmother and another is a new resident who happens to be white. They both marveled apparently at the eerie twin-like resemblance. It's happened before: my brother and I as little kids used to run out of our house to hug and greet our next-door neighbor's Mrs. Angelucci's sister who was a dead ringer for my grandmother. "Grandma! Grandma! You can drive!!!" we cry in our confusion. Mrs. Angelucci's sister was an awfully good sport about it all.

So here's the dialogue my mother and I shared:

M: I couldn't believe it!
PT: Well, you know Grandma's not... I mean, from some of the things she's told me over the years, she's...she ahhhh....
M: (fast, clipped) I know, I know!
PT: (silence)
M: I know.
PT: Ok.

Hi, Pink Thunder:

My name is Liz Galst. I'm listed, along with my email address, on one of your blog pages. (Here's the URL: http://www.pinkthunder.com/pinkthunder/2005/09/zen_driving_toy.html

I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind removing my name and contact information from your blog. I do some freelancing writing for the NY Times and enterprising PR people everywhere have Googled my name and "email" and have begun to deluge me with e-press releases. Anyway, I'm hoping to stanch the flow into my inbox.

Thanks, in advance, for your help.
