Eric and Jen- I think you two are as un-generic as they come! You give new hope to the word! Jen, it was really good meeting you the other night and yes I hope I get to see you again sometime soon too. Eric- glad to see I at least earned “subscribable” status. I am still hoping to earn that “bookmark status” back though! I am going to start updating our website with postings more frequently now! Especially now that Cooper is finally taking some solid naps- gives me some time to do some other things

The irony here is how well I DO fit the definition. My name doesn’t often seem to stick with my face in people’s memories, though I suppose that’s not uncommon. But I can do you one better: for years now, once a month or so someone comes up to me and says, “I think I saw you at such-and-such place yesterday. Or at least someone who looks just like you.” Since I have yet to be the person at such-and-such place, I have come to the conclusion that I am, in fact, fairly generic (looking, at least). Or I have a lot identical sisters out there that Mom and Dad forgot to mention.

I also really enjoyed meeting you the other night. I hope there will be another opportunity sometime soon.

I may have deleted your bookmark, but I did subscribe to your Entry RSS instead. This way I don’t have to show up only to be disappointed – I’ll only poke in if you have something new.

I’m actually a little upset that Jen hasn’t embraced the JenEric thing. No one can ever remember my name, so I comfort them by telling them no one else remembers it either, then giving them the mnemonic “you can’t spell generic without ‘eric’”. Jen, it might seem, does not see the romance in being generic…
