deep thoughts

resemblance

written by Jana July 20, 2008

About halfway during my son’s swimmeet today I had an “aha” moment. I was working at the head table (entering stats into the team computer) and was continuously interrupted by people asking me about their volunteer jobs for the meet (which I knew nothing about–at all). It took about two hours for me to realize that they were confusing me with the Parent Volunteer Coordinator.

So I asked a person sitting next to me whether I resembled the PVC. He replied that I do–so much so that he had assumed that we were related.

Wow. That’s just kinda weird.

So I asked John if we look alike. He said we look about as alike as any two suburban, anglo, brunette women with ponytails and wearing the same outfit (standard Mom uniform–crops and a tank).

Heh.

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
