And now for something sappy..
This has nothing to do with anything. But then again, does anything on this journal ever?
Apparently twenty-five years ago, a man by the name of Seldan Tilman, who worked at a restaurant by Ben & Jerry’s in Barrack’s, lost his white gold wedding ring while washing stuff but didn’t realize it until he got home. He cried. Recently, the manager of Ben & Jerry’s had a bucket of rusty old tableware, and ‘lo and behold, a wedding ring. He showed it to the general manager of Barrack’s, who knew Tilman from back in the day. Yesterday, Tilman was reunited with his ring once again. Again, tears were shed.
I think it’s a pretty awesome story. I mean, what are the odds that happens? Read the story from The Hook here. The couple just celebrated their 26th anniversary. I <3 Charlottesville. I won’t hear stories like this in NY.

It’s like the time I drank too much and lost my camera in a random neighborhood in Charlottesville. An undergrad professor found it in his backyard, looked at the pictures, thought it must be a law student’s and gave it to a law professor he knew, who gave it to the Dean for Student Affairs, who returned it to me. I will miss Charlottesville too, so much more than I ever expected when I moved here.
