Close But No Crown

"I" does not equal "O".  Lombardi is not the same as Lombardo.  The legendary coach of the Green Bay Packers is a different person with a different surname than the famous bandleader. 

There is apparently a Michelle Lombardo who lives in Cranberry, PA.  She recently had a crown put in by my dentist's office in Moon Twp.  Yes, I know way too much about Ms. Lombardo.  Presumably more than she knows about me.  Allow me to explain. 

I went to the dentist for my regularly scheduled 6-month cleaning & check-up.  When the hygenist gave me the paperwork, I noticed that my name was spelled incorrectly.  I didn't think much of it.  I filled out & signed as usual.  She went about her torture.  But first she took x-rays because the chart said I was due.  When she looked at the films, she just could NOT match them up with the previous films in the file.  They matched my teeth, so they were mine, but by golly, she was confounded. 

Then the dentist came in.  She explained the conundrum to her.  She looked at the notes in the file & said, "Well, I just did a crown on her, so you should see that on the film."  Ok, at this point, I interjected.  I told them that do not have a crown.  They both looked at me kinda like I was speaking a foreign tongue.  Then the dentist snapped out of it & asked me if I was Michelle Lombardo & if I lived in Cranberry.  I said, "NO.  I am Michele Lombardi from Imperial!" 

A frenzy of new paperwork and excuses ensued on the part of the hygenist.  She showed me the appointment book, and in her defense, whoever had written my name had scrunched up the end, so you really could not tell what the last letter was supposed to be.  Lucky for the hygenist, I WAS in fact due for x-rays, so my insurance would pay for them.  Coincidence?  Or another eerie connection between this Lombardo chick & me?

I am NOT Michelle Lombardo from Cranberry.  I'm going to go back to being Michele Gaudiello from Connellsville.
