Saturday Speaks: Forget-me-not

A friend from Louisiana moved to Virginia to attend ODU. We had dinner this week with friends and he said the best thing I've heard all week: In honor of you, Geneviève, I've been waving to the Virginians.

Briefly, the story behind that comment comes from the summer I met him. I was walking with Anya on a random street in Hammond when someone waved at me from across the street. I assumed that person must have mistaken me for someone he knew, but I was suspicious. I decided to wave at a random stranger to see what would happen... and the stranger waved back to me! I was slightly freaked out about these friendly southerners and relayed this to my friend...

It was funny, even heartwarming, that he remembered.
