Political encounters with blasts from the past

I went to Mike Waltner's Day of Action rally today. I saw my friend Greg who used to be very involved with local GLBT stuff. It was nice seeing him again.

Another guy asked me for my name, and said that he knew me from way back. It turns out this his wife had been buddies with my mom when I was in elementary school. Kay had once sneaked us kids up some snacks from a party my parents had when we were small. Mom was VERY big on emphasizing that one always brushed one's teeth before going to bed. We ended up not doing that, and I went to sleep feeling like I had committed a mortal sin.

Some other friend mentioned that their son had been partners with a guy that I knew through political stuff. Small world!

When I went to get the mail, there was a handwritten post card from someone in Washington state asking for a vote for Barack Obama. The kicker is that I was already planning on doing that, and the post case was addressed to my ex. (We have very similar names, but he hasn't lived here in almost 5 1/2 years.)
