Four degress of separation

How long does it take to meet your spouses colleagues from sports activities? Is there an unknown law that says that female and male friends do not connect? Well that philosophical questions was partially explored today as I met the spouse of one of my husbands frequent golf partners! Lorraine Patrick and I had met a couple of times at a group in town. Today we spent most of the day together and talked about what we had in common. Both of us had relatives who live in Montreal- the South Shore, both of us had husbands who work of AECL. Both of us also had husbands who play at the same golf course. I also know Lorraine's next door neighbours, Elaine and Jack Chalmers.  We both asked our husbands if they knew each other. Yes and they have played golf together. So by that logic it can take up to 9 years to meet the spouses of my husbands golf partners! Bruce has been playing at Twin Rivers in Petawawa since 2002.  Now how much longer before we meet in real time???
