Cynthia McFadden: Move Over, Milkman

In response to: The milkman cometh back! Do you remember a time when he delivered your milk?

We had a milkman when I was a child in Maine. My memories of him are vague. But I do vividly remember the Fuller Brush man — who it seems to me looked a lot like Jon Hamm on "Mad Men." I was six and begged my mother to let me go home with him. I cried for hours when she wouldn’t let me. Poor man packed up his brushes and ran from the house.

There’s a story, there, especially if you remember him *vividly.* But I once wanted to go find Burt Lancaster in NYC and I was, what, 11 years old?! : D These are odd memories but I think of how when I married my husband there was a picture taken of him where he looked very much like you-know-who! (not exactly, but honestly, from a certain angle it was uncanny). So, maybe on some level you were running toward your future? (okay so I’m still odd :)
