Q and the twins
I got a hilarious voice mail message from my sister today. She is a Junior at UNC-Chapel Hill and will probably kill me for posting this, but its worth it.
Here is her entire message transcribed:
"Hey drew, it's Abby, i figured you were in class, but I just wanted to call and share my good news with you, i thought you'd appreciate it. Quentin Thomas and I were walking next to each other on the way to class this morning and i was like, Abby just say something to him, its not a big deal. So i did. I said "Hey, can i give you a high five?" and then we talked for about 2 minutes. Its was pretty cool. Okay, love you, bye."
From this phone message we can learn three things:
1. Carolina basketball players attend class.
2. My parents did indeed conceive twins nine years apart. Everyone always says that Abby and I act like identical twins, and this is just more confirmation. When I was in college, I had that exact same conversation with Joseph Forte, Vince Carter, and other Tarheel studs. Usually I asked for us to take a photo together instead of a high five.
3. Quentin Thomas is still possibly the worst player in the history of Carolina basketball. If he was any good, he wouldn't be walking to class by himself. The reason he talked to Abby for 2 minutes and gave her a high five is because she was the only one asking. Thanks for graduating Q and opening up another scholarship.
I love you Abby.

Billy Wagner tossed me a ball at a Mets / Giants game last summer. Everyone was harrassing him while he was running BP sprints, and I just said, "Hey Billy. All these schmos are wearing Giants gear. Can't I get some Mets love?" He tossed me the ball. I keep it on my desk. Hooray.
Then, after the game, I was riding the trolley to the BART station; and guess who was standing in front of me? Rickey Henderson!
My wife, Mary Kate, was with me; and she asked, "What, are you famous?" He he he... I laughed. The all-time stolen base leader, all-time lead-off HR leader, nah, he's not famous."
That's the difference between me and my wife.
