You Never Know...
...who you're going to meet in this magical little Mexican town. Last night our friends Charles & Mary hosted a cocktail/dinner party where we met the guy who invented Gore-Tex; two couples who cycled together around the world, a bracing 12,000 mile jaunt; a lady who wrote a highly-regarded trilogy about Napoleon Bonaparte's wife Josephine; a former journalist who just published a book about her life as a lavender farmer in central Texas; and her husband, a photojournalist for National Geographic. Then in my Spanish class this morning I met two guys who'd traveled around the world skippering yachts. Tonight, at the 5th Anniversary celebration of the largest complex of art galleries and studios in town, we're likely to run into Doc Severinsen and the guy who wrote Poltergeist, plus our friend Rick, who just finished a concert in LA drumming for Van Morrison.
Believe me, I'm not trying to do the name dropping thing. It's just that sometimes Karen and I come home feeling like the two least interesting folks in the entire universe. Much blessed with friends and opportunities, but uninteresting nonetheless.
