Kristan’s Blog is Haunting Me
This weekend Dave and I went to a Winter Ball hosted by his department. It was being held downtown at the William Omni Penn, and we parked in the parking garage across the street. As we wove down, down, down the winding levels of the garage, I asked Dave when he thought we’d reach the third circle of hell. He didn’t get my little reference to Kristan’s blog entry until I also asked him if he thought we’d see I Fats.
I only mention this sort of lame exchange because later that evening I ran into another one of Kristan’s blog entries, or rather, the subject of one. After a lovely evening at the ball, Dave agreed to get the car and pick me up at the door. The orientation of the lobby of the William Penn means that you can’t really see out into the street, so I took a swing out through the revolving doors to check the street. No Dave. But on my way back in, I caught out of the corner of my eye Kelly coming into the hotel behind me! It was such a crazy coincidence. Kelly, who is from Baltimore, was not only in Pittsburgh for a wedding reception, but she just happened to be entering the hotel at that exact moment I was leaving–at nearly midnight. It was so fun to see her and catch for a too-brief moment. Thanks Kristan, as I somehow feel your blog is at the root of this!
