My fiance is named Calvin. He's Native American but has passed for many different nationalities, so he's kind of sensitive about that. Anyway, while we were in the middle of a 3am viewing of Family Matters (yes that show is STILL playing reruns on Nick at Night) when he made the above comment. Turns out the last 3-4 shows we've watched all had black men named Calvin.
(By the way, the episode of Family Matters we were watching first aired in 1989. I was BORN only two years before that!! I might as well be recording it on my Betamax player and reading Beverly Cleary books in my oversized off-the-shoulder sweater. Oh wait, those are back in style now.)
As soon as Calvin said that, my first thought was, heehee I need to blog that! A few moments later, when I was in the middle of typing the first sentence on this blog I hear, "You should post that on your blog thingy." Guilty as charged. I am a blog whore!
