Last night - I was totally dominated in a fierce game of connect 4. Paul Schappert, a minor league pitcher for one of the Chicago Cubs feeder teams, absolutely destroyed me. Now I know I must be a little rusty on strategy...but wow. I need to brush up on my Connect 4 skills.
Speaking of connecting - here is another example of how small the world is. I grew up in texas, went to school in Arkansas/Tennessee/N.J. - and then moved back to texas and married a lovely redhead named ashley. Ashley used to go shopping at a small boutique in Southlake where she went to high school. The store owner was a friend of her's named Melissa, hence the store name "Charmed by Melissa." She and melissa got to be very close and now melissa actually works with Ashley at Anthropologie. Melissa married Paul, of recent Connect 4 fame, who also happened to grow up in Southlake. Paul, in 8th and 9th grade was really good friends with a guy who played soccer in Southlake named Andrew Rivas. Andrew Rivas has been one of my best friends since I was old enough to comprehend the concept of friendship. In this case - it's connect 5. heh.
Good story!
