two fell swoops

So, our garage sale on Saturday wasn’t as good as we hoped. While we did end up offloading some stuff, and making a bit of money to offset wedding expense, Tim accidentally sold something that he’s going to regret for a long time. It was this thing called a “Walkboard,” which is difficult to explain (so bear with me) - basically a red wooden board that you stand on and walk (like a skateboarder would?), tottering from one side to another (if you can explain it better, Tim, jump in.) After a few scary incidents where garage-salers tried to use it and nearly knocked into some of the piles of crystal we had for sale, a woman took real interest in it, and bought it for her cousin. As our friend Ted keenly pointed out, apparently, another person at our garage sale took interest in HER: http://annarbor.craigslist.org/mis/1210047109.html.

amazing garage sale on Saturday - m4w - 99 (white st. at Stadium)

I was talking to you at the garage sale on saturday as you were making off with the Walkboard. We both liked the idea of your cousin (?) working it on his hands! You were really cute, especially as we discussed the Peanuts comic poster about loving it when friends sleep over… anyway, I’d love to run into you again sometime, perhaps over a beer? Drop a line…

We were quite pleased to read the missed connection, and hope that these people get together, because anyone who responded to our garage sale signs is a person worth dating. And, if you are reading this, Walkboard lady, Tim kinda wants it back.
