the world is very small. i was talking to one of my colleagues today. he's from honduras originally and it turns out that his best friend (from honduras, who still lives there) recently met dave and esther at a dinner party or something. thru a number of strange coincidenes they figured out that they both knew people who work at BBD in kingston. so my colleague jason came to tell me that some friends of his friend knows me. isn't that funny?
watermelons are pretty consistently hit and miss. it's hard to know when you've got a good one. the first one i bought this season was impeccable. the second i got was under-ripen and tasteless. the third was over-ripe and kind of fermented. will i never win, i wonder!?!?!
i have to admit, i'm kind of excited about the hockey game tonight. maybe "excited" is not the right word, but i'm feeling anticipation. there's something special about events that have everyone watching and talking about. while i'm not a part of hockey culture, but i'm rather intrigued by it as a spectator, and i'm trying my best to catch on. unfortunately brendan sometimes chuckles at me when i say things like "how many minutes are in one inning" etc etc. it's not that i think they're called innings. i know they're called periods, but sometimes when i don't concenstrate the wrong word comes out. watching the stanley cup play offs is something i've neve done before :)
'cause waiting around can be tough on the soul.

Oh my goodness!! Isn't that whole thing crazy? I meant to write you a message but forgot!!! We were in Tegucigalpa visiting our friends Chris and Cindy (capitol city with a population of over a million) and ran into their neighbours at the mall. He asked us where we were from, and so we said Canada, and he said, "Anywhere near Kingston?" We couldn't believe he had ever heard about Kingston, and then he tells us all about his friend there who works at BBD and we said we had a friend that worked there too - you :) He's even been to Kingston to visit before. So weird, eh?? We reminisced with him about tobogganing at Fort Henry, and we told him that he has to visit Kingston some time in the summer. It is such a small world!
