Unexpected mail

I stopped at the mailbox this morning to get several day's mail, left while we were in Tennessee. As I thumbed through the mail, now wet with the rains of the weekend, I cam across a circular from Ruby Tuesday's with a picture of a group of people being served at a restaurant. In the mix is an Asian-American which I didn't recognize the first time I received this circular. It just so happens that this particular Asian-American is my former brother-in-law.

I had seen this advertisement over the weekend and had noticed the face then. Apparently, my niece, who does local advertisements in Knoxville from time to time, had been driven by her dad this particular day and they thought they needed an adult Asian, so Johnny was the available face.

Odd what faces spring up when you look at your mail. I'm not used to being reminded of my former in-laws in such a manner.

There are definitely times when I would like my face to be grinning out of a national or regional advertisement for the benefit of former friends and acquaintances. Of course, there are other times when I am glad it does not.
