Soviet Reunion
I hadn't been able to reach Jack for a while, so yesterday I sent another email, which I thought would go unanswered. I had called his apartment a few times (he is one of my two cell-phoneless friends) and sent a few emails over the past month, but none of my efforts had received a reply.
My cell rang around 11:30 last night, and it was Jacko himself. He explained that Meg had lost her cell phone, along with all the phone numbers, and asked if I had received his lengthy reply to my last email, which explained that he was going to Atlanta for a week. I never got it. Mystery solved. Sort of.
The details of brief this story may be slightly mixed up, partially because we had a bad phone connection and in part because I had just woken up from taking a nap on the couch. (Jack, if you are reading this, feel free to amend any details as you see fit.) While waiting in the security line, Jack spotted a girl who appeared to be Sarah Farnham...except he couldn't remember her name. After walking by her, she spotted him, he remembered her name, and they engaged in a lengthy and passionate embrace. Okay, the first two parts were true...they just started talking after that. Once on the plane, Jack's seat was actually next to Sarah, but she switched seats so Meg could sit next to him. Seated on the other side of Jack was none other than Corinne "Gameelicker" Gaelic, of Walgreen's and allegedly New England Patriot cheerleader fame. Jack struck up a conversation with Gameelicker and found out that she WAS employed by the Patriots and was, in fact, on her way to Jacksonville for the Super Bowl festivities. The Corinne Gaelic/NE Patriots cheerleader is no myth after all! Well, maybe it is. She actually has an administrative role with them, as it turns out...watering down the myth slightly, but keeping the dream alive. When she told Jack that she worked for the Patriots, Jack replied with "That's what I heard!" and he said she seemed very pleased to know that the word had spread. I mean, seriously...can you imagine if you ran into a random high school acquaintance, and they knew who you worked for? I might be more suspicious than pleased. Anyway, Jacko was rightfully astounded that the original seating plan for his flight to Atlanta had him sitting between Sarah Farnham and Corinne Gaelic. How bizarre, how bizarre.
