More Small World!

     Yesterday I went to the YMCA to work out. Had my SU shirt on. I figure with the latest run they have had it is now safe to wear. (Especially after upsetting #9 Virginia today to get Boeheim's #1000!).
Anyway, some young guy walks up to me and starts talking about Syracuse. Pretty soon I find out he went to Oswego State! Then I find out his roommate was a kid from Sandy Creek...Brian Wilder. How about that?

     Need more? Today I went bike riding. A little road work on a beautiful day! OK, so I am riding through this nice folksy looking neighborhood on a dead and road. As I pass by one house a big dog starts to runout at me.  Uh...oh!

     I am safely by but of course I will need to come back this way.  What now? Up ahead at the dead end turn around there is a guy blowing grass clippings. I decide to stop and ask him about the dog. A minute later I find out Scott is from Indian River and played point guard on the basketball team when I was coaching against them for Sandy Creek. C'mon....this is crazy!!!

     We had a great chat about the good old days in the Frontier League when little Sandy Creek would play against Indian River, three times our size! We were always a "tune-up game for them but I loved the difficult competition for my team.  Oh and by the way, the dog has an electric fence. I was fearless as I road by the barking behemoth on the way home!

And here is a shot of "the big guy" arriving home from his workout:
