I got a congratulatory email from a fellow blogger and new friend, Lady Sun. I dropped her a note after reading her blog and invited her to read mine. I was amused to find an email from her today, congratulating me on getting a job. Truly a small world, isn’t it? She arguably knows more about my life’s current events than some of my own family members.
Lady Sun (hi there!) lives in Iran, a country shrouded in mystery (in my mind at least). As a sailor cruising the Persian Gulf in the early 1990’s, I would often stare over at the Iranian ferries steaming beside my ship through the Strait of Hormuz. The people staring back were just that – plain people. Everyday folks. Like me, they were probably wondering what the other side was really like. When I waved to them, I got a wave in return – a small token of friendship shared across a mile or two of blue water.
Anyhow, I’d like to welcome Lady Sun to my little blog, a slice of America. Thanks, Lady Sun, for helping bridge our worlds.
