This morning, there were four Mikes and one Tom in one lane at the Rose Bowl Pool. There are loads more Mikes than any other name at the Rose Bowl, as if there is a celestial vortex. It seems as though different geographical areas attract particular names. Mission Viejo also has a preferred name in one lane, ***. Hilarity ensues from time to time.
When I first met my lanemate I said "Hi I'm Steve" and she said "I'm Trinity". And to this day I wish that I had let her go first because the conversation would have gone more like this instead. Me: "Hi who are you?" Trinity: "I'm Trinity." Me: "Oh Hi, I'm......Neo!" (spoken an octave below my normal voice).
