So I'm walking thru the terminal today and I hear "Doug! Doogie!", I turn around and it's my pal, and fraternity brother Greg White who hosts "Two Wheel Tuesday" and "Greg's Garage" on SpeedVision (SpeedTV) on cable.

I didn't have much of a chance to talk to him, but it was cool!
 
small world eh? My family used to live in Germany but now live in Japan. My dad was walking around downtown Tokyo and ran into someone who he used to work with back in Germany...talk about wierd.
 
Sure is a small world.....I met my wife while I was studying abroad in Germany. My wife had just graduated and was working at the University that I was studying at just outside of Stuttgart. She was in charge of my exchange program. After a semester she moved on to a job in Stuttgart with Daimler-Benz....we kept in touch....I flew back to see her a few times....and the rest is history. I'm from Detroit...she's from Chicago and we meet while we're both studying/working 4000 miles away from home. Funny how things work! Not that I'm complaining at all!!

Hey Doug,

I was just curious because since Bog was at home, where were you and Greg during my 5 hour weather delay at gate C3. I went to the bar out in the low B's in terminal 4 alone...the limes were too big for the Corona bottle

Toss me an email sometime 208
 
When I met my wife we were both waiting at a bar for our expected diner guests (both of us were waiting for coworkers). Being the smooth operator that I am I started up a conversation with what appeared to be the only unattached female at the bar. Neither of our intended diner partners showed up and we ended up having diner together. The rest has been a hellish odyssey of pain, disappointment and emotional torment that words alone can't express. I should kill my buddy for not showing up.

It's pretty funny how you meet people at the most random places....while I was studying in Germany we took a trip to Switzerland and I met a guy who graduated from my high school 3 years before me. He was back-packing around Europe and we just happened to be staying at the same hostel.

I've also met loads of people from Oregon and Alaska at Oktoberfest....both in 2002 and 2003..I've never met someone from Oregon or Alaska in the US!!

And I also have met a bunch of Australians at Oktoberfest...they're the funnest group of people to hang out with....one day I'll make it there for a vacation.

A few years ago I went to Florida with my family, we had Delta direct trips roundtrip. On the way home, my family voluntered to get bumped. We ended up in Ohio for a stop, then finally home to Boston. But the weirdest thing happened in Ohio..I was sitting in my seat when one of my best friends dad at the time walks onto the plane. Talk about strange

Here’s another weird coincidence. I was vacationing on a resort in Kauai, Hawaii with my, then girlfriend and another couple. Well, coincidentally I met some guy that was also from NY. We conversed briefly and from that found out that he was an editor for the New York Times.

About 3 months later, back home, I’m walking down if I remember correctly, W43 between 7 ave and Broadway, meeting up with a friend for an after work get-together. Well, half way in the block, I see this guy walking out of a building that looked like the guy from Hawaii; I had to take a second look because I was dumbfounded! I look to see which building he came out of, and sure enough, it had a big “New York Times” sign on it. With Millions of people in the city, it was just amazing that I bumped into him like that.
 
I was at the DMV office in Mt. Airy, North Carolina getting my learners permit, saw a nice looking girl in the waiting line on my way out. Went to the Winston Salem airport about an 1hr and a half drive down the road, took a flight lesson, then went to the mall in winston after the training flight, and sure enough, 2nd floor on the south side of the mall there she was again. She saw me too and we both looked at each other with the is that you? look from a distance. She nodded her head (aparently we asked ourselves the same question at the same time)and we talked for awhile. Don't think I'll ever forget that. She was from Russia, visiting family in NC.

Mt. Airy, isn't that the "real" Mayberry?

BTW the weirdest coincidence I ever had. Deviating for storms, well off course, middle of the night. I realize I'm near the old home place where I grew up. I look over to spot the night light where the house is and just then a huge bolt of lightning hits right there. The next day I call my dad and ask if anything happened the night before. "Yeah, how did you know, a bolt of lightning hit the house and knocked me out of bed onto the floor, burned a whole in the wall next to my head!"
