Last year, I wrote a post about The 9th of November, riding bikes, and Amy Legris, my best friend when I was young and lived in Kankakee, Illinois – whose birthday is November 9th.
I was looking through my sidebar tonight to double check my posts that were recently commented on. It is the little thing I do to try to catch the spam posts, and meanwhile to find the most recent comments. I see the post in the list, and I assume that it’s going to be spam.
But it isn’t.
It is a comment … from Amy. And I can assume it is from the real Amy, because she calls me “Chris” in the comment. I was Chris for many years, but when we moved to Houston I decided it was time to be Christine. Call me Chris now and I will go carnival freak crazy on you, unless you knew me prior to 1985.
Dude. She found my blog, and she left a comment. I have her e-mail address now, after all these years. Last time I located her was at least 15 years ago – and now, thanks to a blog post, I know how to find her.
Excuse me while I go freak out.

It is pretty amazing how you can find people! I found my friend who lives in WA from someone who knew him in China and gave me his number! Amazing!
OMG, that is just sooooo awesome!!! that just goes to show she was searching her name on Google. LOL (i still do that all the time…)
This is becoming such a blogger trend! Pamie (pamie.com) did that last week too!
Cool! Small world sometimes.
That is cool. We LOVE the net.
That is so great! 🙂
That was very touching. I am glad you have your friend back.
All of my long lost friends are ice cream sandwiches.
You both look like you are having a great time! It is nice to see the whole picture of you both rockin out 🙂
Behold! The power of cheese…err…blogs. Cool story! 🙂
It is such a cool feeling when that happens! Something similar to that happened to me two weeks ago!
God I love the internet! That has happened to me a few time… and you know, it doesn’t hurt to be a blogging Christine, people searching for us can usually find us! And I also had to comment that I was “Chris” until ’82 but unless you know me from then, you better not EVER try to call me that.
