Small world

While visiting a playground on Saturday, a nice woman approached us and said, "I heard you speaking English so I want to come over for some conversation." It turns out she is from Penn State. She had a 4 year old who played with our kids and an 8 month old. Her husband came over and told us he is on his sabbatical. David Wexley and I asked what he taught - atmospheric physics. He's an expert on tornados.

Now - the wife was from Oklahoma - so that made sense. But studying tornados in Munich didn't seem quite right.

David W. told him that he was raised in Michigan and his father teaches at MSU. I told him we were a buckeye family. We all agreed it was best for us to leave them and go to a beer garden since it was about 60 minutes until the season started.

If it wasn't for the Williams family - we probably wouldn't have been so polite.


A nice day.
