Can you feel closeness to people you don't know very well? I had a moment, just for a window of ten minutes or so, a sense of intimacy with a married colleague, over a shared loss.
I was worried about it a little bit when I next saw her, but it didn't seem awkward. I felt relieved and yet let down that it didn't seem like a big deal to her, and she was as distant as always. To me, that moment was special, as I talk a lot, but not about what causes me pain.
Apparently I can't talk to my wife about it, not sure why I was burdening a practical stranger, or taking on her emotional burdens. I don't think this even qualifies as inappropriate conversation, more like peer counselling. Ah well, I will again conceal my inner self behind this jovial mask.

My first post
Wow. A big moment is about to pass for humanity. The post that signifies my coming out blog. Now my thoughts can never be destroyed, as Google will far outlive the Earth. Just Google, roaches, and old New Kids on the Block cd's will be representing us on the galactic stage.
Did I tell you that I met Sergey Brin once? No, first blog, of course not. It was a Search Engine show in San Fran, I think in '99 and Sergi was working their little booth, handed me his card, and told me that they were going to be big some day. I had an appointment with an Alta Vista rep who my employer had a large contract with, I hated San Fran, and so I kind of blew him off, but I did wish him luck. I wonder if I still have his card in my rolodex. Sergey, I wish I had paid better attention.
Hey Sergi and Larry, please come up with an alternative to the MLS and break the Realtor lobby's spine. We don't need travel agents anymore, we don't need these guys.

P.S. On a personal note, hey Sergey and Larry, please have Google come up with an alternative to the MLS and break the Realtor Lobby's spine. We don't need travel agents anymore, we don't need these guys siphoning off 6% off every home in the US. Thank you!
