Jun. 20th, 2006 10:38 pmI'm sure you're all aware of the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon". Well, here in Delaware, it's more like "Three Degrees".
Today, at work, I had to an exchange for someone who had gotten the wrong sizes and he was looking at me and says, "I think I know you from somewhere. Are you from Delaware?"
And I was like, "Yes, I'm from N-----."
And he was like, "Did you go to S---?" When I said that I had, he said, "Do you remember who your teachers were for seventh grade?"
I replied, "Well, some of them."
He was like, "Do you remember Yeager and Smith?" and when I said that I had, he identified himself as Smith. Then he asked how I was doing and what I was up to and stuff. And I found out he was in Las Vegas now and teaching at one of the universities out there.
Now, I had him as a teacher about 11 years ago. I was surprised he remembered me. That was just odd. Cool, but odd.
I was at the Food Bank here in town last night with a group I volunteer with, and there were some new guys there since the last time I had been and I couldn't decide which I wanted more - to date them myself or to slash them. But we did have a good time while we were working - making snarky comments about some of the food that came in (like the fake Spam), but also having fun with some of the toys that came in (like a koosh ball and an old-fashion Slinky) and the condoms.
( I can't wait for the new seasons of SG-1 and SGA to start. I don't know how you guys deal with it. Is it July 14th yet? )
