Hi,
the world is shrinking... at least mine is.
Via the wonders of the internet you can now message anyone and everyone you have ever known in your life. This can be a good thing and a not-so-good thing depending on who it is. Old friends from high school are always good things in my books. I had great friends then and I keep in touch with a whole bunch of them. Occasionally one pops up that I haven't heard from in a while. Today I got a Linkedin message from one of those friends. If you don't know what Linkedin is, you are older than me and it's really not the important part of this tale.
Not only have I not seen or spoken to Catherine in the last fifteen years, we completely lost touch. That happens. Life gets in the way. The last time I saw Cath was at our 20 year high school class reunion, in 1997. Our lives have crossed in weird ways over the years. Her older brother is married to my ex-boyfriends sister, so I saw her at that wedding. Then she stayed at my place the weekend of the class reunion with her little boy... I didn't even know she'd had a baby. Now we have connected again through the world wide web... and the funniest thing is, we're neighbours! How wild is this?
We haven't had a chance to get completely caught up on each others lives but after a few e-mails back & forth today, with minor information floating in and around each one, it seems we live less than 5 miles from one another. What are the odds of that happening? This is not a large community and the chances of two Lawrence Park graduates living here have to be pretty small. I can't wait to get together with her and see what else our lives have been running in parallel with. Spooky.
I'll keep you posted.
