About a month ago I re-connected with an old friend at the Teal Ribbon 5K - he had organized a team in remembrance of his sister, and I was honored to participate.
As old friends do when they reconnect, we got talking about what we had been doing. He knew I had been participating in triathlons and I mentioned that I had started blogging about my experiences. He expressed interest, so I immediately promised to send him the link so he, too, could be subjected to my ramblings.
The first piece he read was "A New Kind of Brick" with its mention of Flipper. Proving that it is a very small world, he told me this in his next email:
You made a reference to Flipper. I have a connection to the show. The older brother on the show was "Sandy". The actor playing Sandy was Luke H... Luke is a distant cousin, but unfortunately I have never met him. However, growing up in the 60's my family watched the show religiously and we were always proud of our cousin, Luke.
Will future anthropologists note that in the 20th and 21st centuries, the bond uniting Mankind was - TV?
