I met someone who knows you

i always cringe when someone starts a conversation with this statement. Because
ive met a lot of people over the years and usually i am quite - lets say less than pc when i speak - so its always a teat - treat - when you meet someone i know

you probably already have

so i thought about it when i worked at the Lodge at Sedona for the three plus years - i had the opportunity to meet 30 people a day 5 days a week for 150 weeks - which equals

around this many people

not that i've actually met 20,000 people in a three year period but it could easily be half - or if this makes more sense 10,000 people have met me - and probably 15,000 people have eaten my food - again that number may be on the small side

anyway -

so i always cringe when people say i met someone who knows you.

oh it also helps to be named Dale - because most of the time i am the only Dale you know.....
