Hi C_Rex:

Sammamish, Washington...I had never heard of this part of washington until I had Friends move out from New Jersey...I wont dare ask do you know the  (insert friends name here)..... ;:|

[c_rex]

Oh ask away.  The world is small, I've lived within 5 miles of this area for nearly 30 years (damn I'm old..ish..er), work at a hideously large software company, and am generally quite affable.  I have even met a few folks from New Jersey.  I just might know them.

fwiw- Sammamish is right next to Redmond, WA- home of said hideously large software company.  In fact it used to be part of Redmond (and Issaquah) until only 5 years ago or something like that.  I usually just tell folks that I'm from Seattle and leave it at that.
