LIVING LIFE

The six degrees of separation theory is the concept that every person in the world is connected by a chain of family members, friends, or acquaintances that number no more than five people. This theory became a game associated with Kevin Bacon more than two decades ago. Personally, the only connection I have with Kevin Bacon is that he and some of my former family members were victims of the same Ponzi scheme – not exactly the best kind of connection.

If you follow the logic of this separation theory, you could be connected to the friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend. I know that it may look like I hit the cut and paste option way too many times, but trust me, I didn’t.

Recently, I was happy to discover that several new acquaintances are actually friends of a few of my longstanding friends. Definitely not as exciting as discovering that you have a connection to a long-lost relative who owns multiple luxury hotels in Hawaii, but good experiences nonetheless.

The closest I have come to finding a chain of family relationships was through a DNA test – not for humans, but for dogs. We now know that our dog has a brother in Pennsylvania and a sister in New York. But unless she figures out a way to buy a plane ticket, our pup will just have to be satisfied to hang out with her local canine friends.
