Sir Christopher: "Did you hear that Rex is moving and his apartment in Kenwood is gonna be up for grabs?"
Me: "Mmm hmm."
At which point I promptly thought to myself, "Where in the fuck is Kenwood? I've never heard of *that* suburb before." So I hopped on Google and found nada. And basically I thought it was a little strange that an entire suburb would be missing from the internet or that I could have lived here for the past 4 years and never heard of it... but, you know, sometimes those search engines can be liars. There's Woodbury, Maple Grove, Maplewood, Roseville. Doesn't Kenwood kinda sound like one of those, any of those, suburbs?
Ok, so yeah. I know this is the part of the conversation where you're wondering why I didn't just ask Rex or Sir Christopher where it was. But that's because I ASSUMED KENWOOD WAS A SUBURB!
Fast forward to dinner with Shea 2 nights ago...
Me: "Oooh, Shea! You've lived here most of your life. Do you know where Kenwood is?"
Shea: (Nearly choking on her gingerale) "Ha ha ha {gasp} ha ha. Um, Margaret? It's that little part of town about 5 blocks from your house."
I know, I'm a fucking rocket scientist. Coincidentally I *drive* through Kenwood every day on the way to work.
For the past 12 months.
Right down Kenwood Parkway.
God I must be the biggest airhead on the planet.

Oh yes that was actually pretty funny.
