Hong Kong - Adam's Birthday....to be 27 again. And a night of it being a small world for me!


Okay, so Adam K, like most everyone walking the streets of Hong Kong is looking at his screen and typing all the time.  He finds it interesting how often they are all looking - I am not sure why hehe.

Being an online guy, he put out a note on an online site that it was going to be his birthday and wondered if anyone wanted to celebrate with him - smart guy to know I was not his best party buddy!

He got a couple guys that said they were in.  And it turned out a college friend of his fiancee was in town as well for the birthday evening.

We started with dinner and then met up with "new friends".

Then it got interesting.......

Three gentlemen joined us for the evening.

Adam, another one, is a great friend a Haiti Outreach - the group Eric Lecy supports in a very big way and no doubt Eric knows this guys connections to the group.  Hit one.

Steve, the fiancee's friend.  In the UST MBA program, lives in White Bear, and of course knows Jim Hansen, a great friend of mine for 30+ years from the program.  Hit two.

Taylor, from Chicago, he sits twenty feet and works everyday in HK with a great mate of mine from Sydney that I worked with on my last stint back there in the late 90s.  Scott and I got together on one of my recent trips to HK - haven't told him I am grounded here for awhile.  Won't he be surprised on Monday.  Hit three.

Who needs six degrees of separation when I can do it in one or worst case two - WOW what a crazy night of connections it turned out to be for me last night.
