Weird Coincidences and Flickin bottle caps

OK, I have too many times when weird things happen in my life.
So for the weekend I’m up in North Carolina for the Wake The Dragon S2000 car meet. It’s Friday night and all the Atlanta attendees are sitting around, talking and enjoying a few beers. I had a few New Castles that I had bought earlier and after pulling the cap off of one, I proceeded to flick it into a trash can on the other side of the room. I had learned how to do this thing where you held the bottlecap and snapped and it went flying. I was thinking to myself that I hadn’t done that since college.
So I signed up for a myspace site a few month ago. And I’ve been checking it occasionally, but haven’t done much more. Most of the friends I have listed are from my car club. I’ve gone to the High School and College groups but had never recognized anyone until today on my college alumni group. She looked familiar, but I wasn’t too sure so I emailed her. She responded back that she thought I looked familiar and then it all came back to me. She had dated a Fraternity brother of mine. And like most parties we had, we had all sat around the Fraternity house and had a few beers on a few occasions. Then it hit me: She was the one that had taught me how to flick the bottle cap.
Tina is now on my friend list. From her bio, it says that she’s married, has kids and lives near Atlanta. When we can find an opportunity, we’ll have to meet up and flick some bottle caps.
It’s funny what you remember about people.

Off to the Dragon

(yeah, I know it’s my first post and I should write something to open with, but I’m inclined to cut to the chase and talk about the here and now)
So tomorrow I’m off to the Dragon. Owners of Honda S2000’s will be traveling to Western North Carolina to participate in the 4th Annual Wake the Dragon event. The Dragon is a road that runs from Deals Gap NC Northwest into Tennessee toward Knoxville, with 318 Curves in 11 miles. It should be a fun weekend.
Here’s a pic of me from last year: Me @ Dragon
