Had a funny little small-world moment here, sitting at the Sofitel lobby bar. This lady a couple seats down is making chitchat with that where'ya frum? thing... turns out shes from Florida, just south of Melbourne. We chitchat about the hurricane and such.
I say I'm from Gig Harbor...
"Hey... I'm from Olympia" she says.
"Really..." I says... "I'm from Tumwater originally. Went to Tumwater High."
"I grew up on a farm just south of Olympia." She says.
"Oh really? Was it on Littlerock Road?" I ask.
She looks at me like I've got lobsters coming out of my ears. "How'd you know that?"
hehehe... everything just south of Olympia is on Littlerock road. right?
Wierd small world moment. Kinda funny.
That's funny. Good evening!
I took Clare down to a Technical college in Warwick RI for a tour during their Open House. In chatting with the teacher who does their Audio classes, he asked me where I'm from. When I told him MS, he said his girlfriend is from Hattiesburg. I just laughed out loud, cause that's my hometown! I didn't recognize the name of the girl, though her parents would likely be close to my age. I haven't lived there in almost 30 years, so lots of folks have come and gone since then.
