Small World

Tonight I ran the Festa Italiana's 5K Fun Run with Mick. This was my 4th Fun Run for the season, but the 1st that did not involve free beer at some point during the run. The number of participants is drastically lower than for the other 3 races. Coincidence?

While waiting for the race to start I saw a guy that reminded me of the other bass player from BU's all campus orchestra. I stared at him for quite a while to determine if it was him. It would be too strange for him to be in Milwaukee so decided that it could not be him. Well, then when we lined up to begin the race I was much closer to the guy and was quite certain it was him. I started talking to him and I think we were both surprised that the other ended up in Milwaukee. He's here for law school, but has found a job in the city too. We talked briefly after the race, but I didn't know what to say. We weren't good friends in college. We just shared the blaim when the bass section led the entire orchestra astray. But I found him on facebook, so perhaps we will hang out sometime. Perhaps I should introduce him the Bluegrass Night.
