It’s a small small small small world…

It’s a small small world indeed.

Example #1- On Wednesday morning, I left my apartment and ran into my next door neighbor who just moved in. See, people in my apartment complex change really often because a lot of the units are corporate rentals. Often times they’re high profile execs. A lot of times they don’t even ever actually move in!

So I said hi to her, and then followed her down the stairs, when I hear “Hey Dennis.”

Ok, well that’s alarming.

It turns out it was a friend from Hopkins: Steve! The woman I met and Steve are roommates right next door to me! Steve was one of my good friend’s roommates Freshman year - and that was the friend who had the TV so we were there all the time.

What a coincidence!

Example #2- Today I get a chat from a high school friend, Dan. See, Dan is a grad student at UC Berkeley. The only time I’ve actually met him since High School graduation was last thanksgiving - in NEW YORK. And right now he’s in Japan.

So in this chat, he tells me that he’s met Saiwing. My ex-coworker, ex-roommate.

What? Huh? Saiwing is also in Japan… but….

Turns out that they’re in the same intro program in Japan. And they’re even staying at the same house for a bit.

And that Dan recognized Saiwing from my blog.

Whoa.

Small small world indeed.
