Small freakin' world
So, our road has been entirely torn up because it needs a new curb and repaving. This has led to a lot of neighbourly bonding over the frustration of having to park far from home and walking through a disaster area, often with groceries and other heavy objects. As I was walking in from being at the gym and grumbling about how far I had to park I spot this older couple and a somewhat younger man helping them carry things into the court. The guy was kinda tall and lanky and the older couple were speaking german (they're known as the grumpy germans on the street cause they're not big fans of being moved here). I'd known before that there was a german couple here and their last name was Feuerherm- the same last name as one of my N.E. arch. profs at Laurier. But the chances of being the same family are like nil. BUT looking more closely at this tall, lanky guy hauling a cooler I realize that it is indeed my old prof trudging up the road. How weird is that?
