My husband Mark and I may be spending too much time talking about issues related to addiction and recovery, as it has lead to a series of double takes in recent years...
A friend told me that a computer geek she works with is a member of SCA. "You're married to a geek. Are they all into that kind of thing?" she asked. I gasped, thinking she was talking about Sexual Compulsives Anonymous, a 12 Step recovery group for sex addicts. Was she asking if sex addiction was a geek thing? Um, no. It turns out she was talking about the Society for Creative Anachronism, a group dedicated to researching and reenacting medieval European history.
I overheard someone talking about DA meetings and wondered for a moment if they were looking for recovery from their compulsive spending through Debtor's Anonymous. It turns out they were discussing Dumbledore's Army in the Harry Potter series.
Mark and I went to the local library to return some books. Outside were return bins for quick drop-off of various materials: media, children's books and adult books. Mark paused in front of the book drop and said, "Oh! 'Adult books,' as in 'not children's books!' Not the 'adult books' we talk about in program." Truly. You never know when you're going to come upon a pornographic library. Best to be vigilant.
