My Story for Today...
So, I'm at work and my cell phone rings. I know it is Mark, because the UCLA fight song is sounding off. I answer and he immediately puts someone else on the phone. A man's voice says "This is Edmund Grey of Tempo. There are 3 guys on the golf course here that are planning to go to a strip joint. If one of these guys happens to be your husband, would you mind?" I replied "Whatever makes him happy." To which he said (as he is telling the guys in the back what I am saying) "Can I quote you on that?" "Sure" I reply laughing.
Mark gets back on the line and I ask "Who was that?" "It is your "All My Children" guy", he says. "I'll tell you the story later."
As it turns out, he and 2 friends are playing golf over at Desert Willow. It is busy and they have to keep waiting. As they wait at the 18th hole, these 2 guys come up. Mark looks at one and says "You look familiar. Are you an actor?" To which the guy says "No." Mark pursues. "Are you a jock?" He replies that he had played baseball. "Pro?" Mark asks. "No." By this time, his friends were giving him a hard time, to which he told them that his wife (me) had been in Albertson's one day and saw a guy that she thought was from "All My Children". She came home and kept wondering if it had been him. The next time she saw him, she went up and talked to him and sure enough it was John Callahan, Edmund Grey of "All My Children." After he related this story, the guy put his hand out and said "Hi - I'm John." He then told Mark to put his wife on the phone - and I've already related the story from there.
I've seen him in the market several times. The next time I see him, I will have to go up and reintroduce myself as the very understanding wife that he spoke to on the phone one day!
