Perhaps a year ago, I was sorting the recycle when I noticed a familiar face amidst the junk mail. On the cover of the Title Nine (oops) Athleta catalog was Monica Halsey. I went to high school with her. I believe junior high as well. My memory is so bad, I may have even gone to elementary school with her.

She was very nice. Smart, friendly, level headed. Pretty, too, though I was never on the make. I was a teenaged nobody, but I remember she was never holier-than-thou.

Well I guess now she's a model, and by the fact that she has recently shown up in the marketing vids for Microsoft Surface, I guess a successful one at that.

Kudos to her. I have nothing but fond memories of Monica and I wish her the best. Still weirds me out to see her everywhere, though.
