After all, it's a small world

I'm tired. A busy weekend followed by this busy week has made me so tired that I"m tard. I really really really really (x infinity) can't wait for this week (tomorrow/Friday) to come to an end.

The week being over means I'm that much closer to seeing my sister, bro-in-law, niece, neph, and dog neph this weekend. They'll be our third set of visitors to stay/sleep here in our little Walnut Creek apartment. Too bad my bro couldn't stay here more than the six hours he was here for today. I mean, check this out, yo. Around 1:30pm today, I decided it was time to fill my belly with some food. Just as I was about to get up from my cubicle area, my bro texts me, "Where do you work?"

I'm like, whaaaaaat? I quickly type, "Razprgish" but then realize it's a typo so I correct it to, "Razorfish. Why?"

He responds with, "Going to Hard Rock Cafe."

Having not seen him since September, I suddenly remember [pause to admire rhyming] that my brother was going to be in Japan for three weeks. Ah. Makes sense. He must be in SF on his way back to Washington. But it's crazy that he and his buddy decide to go Hard Rock Cafe since it's literally RIGHT ACROSS the street from my work.

So that was coo. We met for only half an hour but it was seriously awesome to see him. It was a nice ending to a week of "small world" happenings. Last Friday, we went to the UW-Cal game at Berkeley and, while getting in line for a bus, ran into a couple I had just met two days prior at the SF Giants World Series parade. They were pals of my friend Carmen. But then AFTER that game, when we got in line to take the bus back to our car, guess who ended up being behind us?  The SAME couple. Ummmm.... stalk much folks? Just joshin... I kid new friends.

The next day, we met with G & A visiting from Washington. They were in town for a wedding and staying at a hotel in Mill Valley in the North Bay (north of SF). We met them at their hotel, had lunch, hung around for a couple of hours, then parted ways. But we weren't done with that hotel.

Later in the evening, we went back to the very same hotel to visit another friend who was also staying there. She was celebrating her birthday by getting away from her house and staying in one of her favorite SF Bay areas. We had made plans with her earlier in the week not knowing that she would be in the same place as G & A!  Isn't that crazy? One obscure hotel in a random small town serving as the meeting point for two different sets of friends who don't know each other [cue Twilight Zone music].

Of course, those who know me KNOW that I love this small world stuff. It's so intriguing to me when events like this prove how intimately connected we are...
