Small World

plasticmom and I stopped by a shop specializing in Chinese dresses (chi-pao) when we ran into my roommate from the summer I spent at UCSD. [We actually went to kindergarten together as well, but more on that later.] She was at the store with her mom and her sister, who is getting married. I wasn't sure whether it was her, but I conferred with plasticmom, who has a superpower memory for faces and names. plasticmom was also the one who made the other connection when we roomed at UCSD the summer before college. plasticmom called me at UCSD one day to tell me she recognized my roommate from my kindergarten class when we were four or five. If that's not a superpowered memory...I don't know what is.
