An Extremely Small World

So I was reading this very interesting book for my lit review, and the author's name sounded familiar. "Did I meet her at a conference?" I thought. So I looked her up on the internets, and realized that I'm friends with her father-in-law. Weird!!!

I find this fact simply stunning. It's a tiny thing, but it brought home how close we are all to each other, in a Kevin-Bacon sort of way.

P.S. Also, I have a wonderful wife. Why do I write that, you ask? Because she asked me if that's what I was writing about, and I decided that's what I should be writing about. She's smart and beautiful and cool and I am continuously amazed that she loves me.
