Small World

I received a phone call from my cousin Helen this week. She's my cousin on my birth mom's side who lives in southern California. She was a bit histerical on the phone because she just found out that my brother Scott (who is her cousin on her mom's side) is working with another cousin of hers on her dad's side in Oakland. Not only that but her cousin on her dad's side has asked Scott to housesit for him while he went on vacation for two weeks because he knew that Scott didn't have a place yet. He felt more at ease after finding out that Scott is distantly related to him and not just a stranger from Chicago who works with him. What a small world...
