It's a small world . . .

Stacey and Barb left today.

They were visiting for the last ten days from Maui.

Steve met them when he was working in Maui through friends. A big group of neighbors in Lahaina gets together every Tuesday night for dinner.

They call it Tuesday night dinner.

Since Steve spent a total of about 7 months in Maui over the last two falls, he had a lot of Tuesdays to attend Tuesday night dinner.

When Rachel and I visited Steve in Maui, we went to a Tuesday night dinner and met Stacey and Barb among others.

Rachel, Steve and I also went to the Old Lahaina Luau. At the Old Lahaina Luau, we met a couple from Chicago on their honeymoon. His name is Daniel and he is Swiss. Being Swiss, he's a skier.

Her name is,

wait for it, now,

Bridget.

And, she grew up the next suburb over from me.

So, we had a far amount to chat about. At the Luau. Last October. In Maui.

But, I'm talking about March. In Aspen. Where our friends from Maui are visiting.

And where Daniel showed up. At Aspen Highlands on Tuesday with a few Swiss guys.

And then again, on Friday night, at the Starlight Evening at the Sundeck. Where Steve and he literally backed into each other.

So, on Friday, we were hanging out with our friends from Maui and our friend from Switzerland via Chicago who we met in Maui and his friends from Switzerland and their Swiss friend from Aspen whose acquaintance we had never made in our years of living in Aspen.

And I'm not even going to talk about Stacey's friend from Maui who she unexpectedly ran into on the street in Aspen on the day that he moved here . . .

It was just that sort of week.
