'n' Degrees in the Shade

Talking with new acquaintance B over the weekend, and the conversation somehow turned to other (mutual) acquaintances. So, I present to you what I often affectionately call "One Degree of Separation — Gay Life In Orlando."

I met J a couple of months ago at PI, and it turns out he goes to my church.

A couple of weeks ago, I sat with J at church, and was introduced to K (and a couple of other letters I'm forgetting right now.)

I see J and K at Full Moon that evening, and J introduces me to friend B.

B works at Disney (okay, the odds are high for that) and is on a different piece of the project to which I'm assigned.

B is friends with T, an acquaintance who works out at my gym.

B runs with Orlando's FrontRunners, and knows S, also a FrontRunner.

I see S every once in a while. I was introduced to S eons ago by D, who now lives in Minnesota, with a different S.

I met D because he was a Disney College Program roomie with my ex, M.

I could take another tangent here (about how during D&S's visit last fall, I learned they know one B, who used to live here, moved there, and came back, and I know through M&J), but the whole map just gets too scary. In fact, it just might look something like this.
