Charlene! Charlene! The Lamp of My Life!

Willamette St near 28th, Eugene OR

Description

We had talked at the downtown library. You were taking a math course at LCC. (That was years ago: this is the short version) Last month, I saw you again on the 24 Donald bus. I was going to get a part at the Willamette Street True Value so I could fix a friend's lamp. You were going to the Southside Post Office on 33rd Avenue. You had a broken lamp, too! I offered to fix it. You held out an envelope and I wrote my phone number on the back. As I got off the bus, you said: "It might be a while before I call you. I don't have a phone!" No phone? How could you even *live* without a phone?? As the bus pulled away, I had this thought: I should have given her my phone! But then, if she'd tried to call me, I wouldn't have a phone, so that wouldn't have worked. Now I wonder: did she *mail* the envelope with my phone number on it when she got to the Post Office?? If you are Charlene, I hope you read this. If you aren't Charlene, but know a Charlene with a broken ("bent" she said) lamp, please tell her I'm here waiting on Craigslist. --- "Charlene! Charlene! The Lamp of My Life!" Cast: Randy (the old guy with the baseball cap) Charlene (the pretty lady on the bus) Do we have made for TV movie here or what? Robert Redford? Kathleen Turner?
