Inspired by Fat Red Ant, who was inspired by Dan Waber, I am taking up the challenge to write about 365 memorable people whose paths have crossed mine. The form is 44 words, in honor of the number of years spent running into them.

344/365 A Fifth Chris
My favorite story about Chris is this: When Alison visited, he met her at the neighborhood subway. They’re so white, somebody asked if they were lost. “I tried to get Thelma to come along for blackup,” he tells Ali, “but she was too tired.”
I love this!!! I have been assumed lost a few times when I wasn't but just didn't seem to fit! Awesome way of conveying such strong message, still pertinent today!
"Blackup"... what a crack-up...
