Last night I dropped in at The Grafton. I hadn't been in there on a Monday since my class schedule changed, but my friend and I used to stop there before (and often after) our classes at the Old Town School nearly every week. We got to be pretty good friends with the two girls who regularly work there on Mondays, Jen and Traci.
I found out a while ago that Jen grew up in Port Huron, and that her mom lives about a mile down the road from my brother. Last night, I found out that Traci's fiance is from the town of Kilfenora, in County Clare, which is currently the home of Raeanne, a Memphis HS graduate from a few years behind me, who is friends with my brother and sister-in-law (and who, I should add, has been incredibly helpful in my planning and particularly my housing search!).
Port Huron is the nearest town which could reasonably called a "city" (pop. 32,000) to Memphis, where I grew up. Memphis has a population of about 1100. Kilfenora's population is about 200. Chicago has 2.8 million.
What are the odds?
