Several weeks ago, mima (Meh's mom) reported that someone in her Florida office has friends living on the east coast that are Selfons, whose first names were unfamiliar to me. Our family is pretty small, and our name of course fairly uncommon, so I'm fairly sure that these good folks must be related to us in some mysterious manner. (It's certainly a better chance than the infamous Sealfons, who've both
won the Scripps National Spelling Bee and
test LSD on rats. And yes, we have indeed confirmed that the Sealfons are relations.) My best guess so far is that these Selfons are related to the Philadelphia Selfons (one of whom had her own, er,
jolt of fame a few years back). But the more bizarre report from mima's coworker was that these Selfons also recently had a baby, and that baby's name... is Zachary! Suddenly we're in the same boat with all of the John Smiths and Jane Browns of the world.


It's a little strange to think of Zachary having a
doppleganger out there somewhere. Could even be parallel universe evil twins or something (we'll have to check to see if the other Zachary has a little
goatee), though which is the 'evil' one remains to be seen at this point. :) Particularly with the family being as small as it is, it would be wonderful to contact or meet up with the other Zachary at some point, along with these other Selfon relatives we've never met.
