August 2012: Curve Ball

CR & SK recently took a trip to the Bay Area to visit friends, revisit part of their pasts & just, well...experience it all, together.  Both have memories born in this part of California (CR being from the East Bay, SK attending Santa Clara University).  Acknowledging many of their similarities since meeting in April has also led them to see some of their differences; significant, important & all justifiable.  One of these two individuals is:

An ardent coffee drinker

A lap swimmer

A runner

A baseball lover

Not wary of conflict

Blessed with a tremendous memory

Most-likely tone-deaf

Able to sink pool balls 

A more coordinated dancer 

An only child

Interested in design, patterns, aesthetics & process

A pop culture enthusiast

Still wearing clothes from high school

Bilingual

In a book club, band & on a music trivia team 

A karaoke singer

Fascinated by costume, overt sexual expression, gender bending & non-conformity

A gifted guitarist & songwriter

A not-so-gifted drummer

Accident-prone

Perhaps the most notable & stark difference between CR & SK was discovered & lived (in the flesh) during their venture south.  Simply put, it was the preference for viewing one of two very distinct playing fields.
