Funny coincidence, courtesy of Katie: re this past Monday:

My bra Joe’s birthday today. Happy Birthday, Jofey! It’s also Mitch’s b-day, and they went to the same college, WEIRD! That is so freaky!!

Only the latest of many freakinesses: Katie and Joe’s sister Mary (proprietor of this blog) married my college’s basketball coach. Katie’s husband interviewed for another coaching gig at the same school. And Joe and I were, in fact, classmates.

Furthermore, the school – which had about 500 students back then – had a total of five people, counting Joe and I, with December 11 birthdays; four students and the journalism professor. (That, and a total of four leap babies, which is even weirder. Weirder still, if memory serves, one of the leap babies was (ta daaaa) Joe’s roommate.

So let’s see…a heartwarming story about growing up Joe’s lil’ sisty…um, when our folks would go out for the evening, I’d hide in my closet cuz he’d immediately start looking for me so he could sit on my face and fart.

Does this explain anything?  You be the judge.
