And That Makes Three...

Just for clarification, that is Kim on the left and myself on the right.

SCENE: Schlotzky's, Riverside and Lamar
TIME: 12:44pm

Here I am standing around waiting for my Turkey Original and bowl of Potato Bacon soup. Suddenly, a middle-aged man wearing glasses walks past me, turns around, and walks towards me once again.

HIM: Is your name Jennifer?
ME: No, I am not Jennifer Kim.

Kim took some lumps over what some saw as sense-of-entitlement, after demanding special security access at the Austin airport in early January. Then, we learned of an instance when she was pulled over and said those-six-words-nary-a-politician-should-utter, "Don't you know who I am?"

But these recent run-in's I've had with strangers make me wonder. Did Councilmember Kim ever need to ask that question? People already seem to know who she is very well. They recognize her, er, me, all the time.

would it help restore balance to the universe if I ask Jennifer Kim if her name is Elise? Also, what did the cop answer...DID he know who she was??
