my shadows
I'm not the only Courtney Sherwood out there.
A long time ago, I was contacted by a "Courtney N. Sherwood" from somewhere in Australia, who came across me by googling herself. There's a Courtney Sherwood from Minnesota who was a successful high school athlete a few years back -- there are still articles online detailing her exploits. Another Courtney Sherwood went to Cornell University. A third (fourth, if you count me as #1) is now employed at Grand Valley State University.
Most of the other Courtney Sherwoods I'm aware of I've found through the web. Either I googled them, or they googled and contacted me.
But there's at least one other Courtney Sherwood in the Portland metro area, and she and I live shadow lives. She went to Oregon Episcopal School, where she knew a former editor of mine -- he worked there at the time. She's a member of my health club in downtown Vancouver, Washington. I've never seen her there, but the folks who take my card tell me her middle initial is "E" and she has blond hair. A couple of weeks ago, I was paying for something at my North Portland vet and was asked, "Are you Courtney C. Sherwood or Courtney E. Sherwood," so I guess my shadow also takes her animals to the same vet that I randomly happened upon when we moved to this part of town.
I wonder if we'll ever meet.

I just got wierded out when someone else had the last name of Bunce. All throughout Blacksburg VA, people kept asking me if I was related to him, if he was my father, etc. It was wierd. He supposedly did theatre too. Never met the man
