hey, i know her!

this weekend was one of small-worldliness.

saturday while christine and i were taking an iced chai break from thrift shopping (in a vain attempt to find some appropriate-for-work shirts for me), we were perusing the ny go! magazine. they have a page of photo montage from the various girl bars in the city, and lo and behold there was someone we knew! not only that, but it was someone we've never met in person (knowing her from oho), and someone who doesn't live in the city! erin contacted her and verified that it was indeed bridget :)

saturday night we made the drive up to putnam valley to visit liz and craig in their new place there. my god it's beautiful there! they're in a house that used to be a three-season cottage right near a lake (they have a private dock, though it's not visible from the house) with a stream in the yard and a hot tub on the deck. very nice! we didn't use the hot tub this time, but that's ok. it was lovely anyway. we all (except me) collaborated to make a delicious dinner of london broil made into philly sandwiches plus a salad. we spent much of the rest of the evening looking through pictures and playing scrabble. craig was explaining one photo to erin and said something about christine who is involved with the charm city roller girls now, and i'm like, "hey, i know her!" turns out craig and christine haven't seen each other in about 12 years. who knew!

like i said, small world; connections...
