I can't tell you how many people have asked over the past few days. I know there's a Minnesota-California connection and all, but seriously, how could people really think this woman was me?

Other Patty Mitchell's that share my name, but aren't me...
- There's an artist Patty Mitchell that works with people with developmental disabilities and apparently is a wonderful person.
- There's Pat Mitchell, who used to head up PBS. The same Pat Mitchell who was on the Board of Directors at Knight Ridder during my tenure there and who I would regularly get email for. My first week at KR I got an email saying that the corporate jet would be at the airport at 5:45 pm to take me to the Board meeting. I didn't have any BOD meeting on my one-week old calendar yet, but I was very impressed with how my new employer was treating the new General Manager from Saint Paul, Minnesota.
- There's the author and editor sisters Patty and Nancy Mitchell (I kid you not!), who wrote Chicken Soup for the Sister's Soul.
- There's the production assistant on the 1994 movie "The River"
- There's the former member the Dixie Chicks and back-up singer Patty Mitchell, who in 2003 apparently got tired of being in the background and released her own record "These Are The Good Old Days". And who used to own the URL www.pattymitchell.com, which as of early this year, now belongs to me. I've not done anything with it yet however.
- There's the Patricia Mitchell who's a prolific food writer, author of some 56 books and countless articles on the historical eating habits of Americans.
- There's the "presenter, life coach and broadcaster" Patricia Mitchell in the UK who's had a strangely similar background to me in some ways.
- There's the Patricia Mitchell who's an oboist for the San Jose Opera and teaches at Santa Clara University, not far from where I live.
- There's the Patty Mitchell who came in 11th place in the Ultimate Tri-Fitness competition this spring, listed on the site with the unfortunate acronym of WTF.
You have to love a place where they put a fun house mirror along the side of the pool. We women have enough body self consciousness already, it's good to poke fun at our distorted perceptions.
Are my legs really that stubby?
Today's Vox Hunt: show us your eyeball.

So for a while I've had this half baked idea about meeting non-Six Apart Voxers in person. You know, share a glass of limoncello in the backyard, extend the conversations from our posts and comments at some SF wine bar, swap favorite QotD's, chit chat and well...just meet...for real.
Tonight I was lucky enough to meet two folks in my neighborhood. Mark and Karen (sadly, I forget to get a picture with Karen, but she looked as lovely as I expected she would ). But as you can see below, we did have to ask ourselves the question "Where's Laurel"?!
Being good Vox neighbors, we of course knew she was on another business trip, but did want to make sure she knew she was missed.
VOX Question of the Day: which celebrity do you most resemble?
In the early 80's I used to get that I looked like Belinda Carlisle from the Go-Gos. There was this one black and white publicity shot she used that even I had to admit looked a lot like me. I think I still have it in a scrap box somewhere.
When Mad About You was on television I was living in Denver and my dad used to say "I saw you on that show again last night". Apparently he thought I looked like a chubbier Helen Hunt.
Spot the real Patty(s)...
