Into the Dave Mingling Hall of Fame
The Dave Mingling Hall of Fame is relatively empty, which is why last night can make an immediate entry without deliberation by the Minglers Association. I was at a party, on the way to get a Fresca (the key ingredient in a Louisiana Sangria, so key in fact that after one LA Sangria I switched exclusively to the distinctive sparkling refresher with a light citrus taste) when I was stopped by pink skirt and number 58. At least that's what we had called them when we were sitting across the room. Pink skirt, Pam it turned out, started discussing marathons with me (she'd been tipped off). Number 58, whose name escapes me, chimed in with the finer points of spectating. At some point Anna joined the conversation and Jadwin, Missouri and the Current River made a conversational appearance. Through two Frescas and perhaps as much as twenty minutes we chatted; well they chatted and I got a word in edgewise now and again.

That never happens.
