"Don't tell me you drive a five-speed too," I said to D, my swimming buddy when we were in the parking lot after a "Pho" lunch (Faye, I thought of you). No wonder we liked each other when we started swimming together at the Y.
A better swimmer than I, D's daughter and mine actually share the same first name and we both drive black Honda Civics. On top of that, I now know she is a gear-shift gal. She is also adopted, just found that out today too. Wow! Many life events in common.
She is also a completely no-bull-shit woman who puts up with nothing. As I said, my kind of woman. We like and hate the same people at the Y, fewer in the former category than the latter, by the way. "You, L and I have to do the Lake Windermere open-water swim next year and make a weekend of it in Invermere," I suggested. "We will be the oldest broads, but not the slowest," I predicted.
"Can't wait," she replied. Neither can I!

I like matches like this. Make your Pho lunch a tradition!
ReplyDeleteWish I could be there.
I think we will, she had not been to that venue and loved it! Lunch was $10 each and we were stuffed.
