we went to somewhat rival high schools at roughly the same time

we may not have been rivals proper
actually I am not sure if we had a proper rival

geographically and socially both Blair and Whitman are logical rivals

it was a long time ago and some things were somewhat off my radar

we had a laugh when this existing in parallel times thing was figured out
memories surfaced along with smiles

I did not mention that much of my high school years were spent paying soccer at Jessup Blair in downtown Silver Spring... old school Silver Spring... a very different Silver Spring than the Silver Spring of today...
