Doppelgang.

I've become interested in people who share my name and how we may or may not be connected or similar. My favorite so far in this nomenclature project is Matthew Carman in Carroll County, Maryland, who was recently awarded "Best Udder in Show," according to the bottom of this release from carrollcountyfair.com (do I sense a county-fair Carman competition?)

There's a Matthew Carman who went to the same school as my ex-girlfriend, and a Matthew Carman who apparently helps process my paychecks. I'm curious to see where this takes me.
