The World is Small!
So this afternoon, I had a guy in my line today. We both stood there staring at each other for a minute or two saying, "Where do I know you from?" Then it hit me.
"The last time I saw you was in the teachers' room at Shane School in HCMC!" I said. He was the kid from Kenosha, Wisconsin I met at Shane on my first day, and I'd remarked, "Really, of all the places to run into someone from Ke-nowhere, Wisconsin, this is the last place I'd expect it." He left Saigon about a year before I did, and has since married and moved to Irving Park (a neighborhood south of here).
Strange planet, this one.
