It's In The Details ...
April 26, 2005
Once, briefly, I met a girl through a friend. Nobody of consequence, really. But since meeting her a few months ago, I have run into her several times. I've seen her at coffee shops, movies, and concerts. The first time I ran into her, I was surprised not only that she remembered me, but that I remembered her, even given how attractive she was. Let me say that a different way. What I mean by that, is that even though she is extremely pretty and attractive, I didn't think I would remember her after our less than significant meeting.
The second or third time seeing her we struck up a conversation and this is where it gets really odd. It turns out she works at one of the schools in the district I work for. So, technically, we're coworkers.
We've shared a couple of emails and we seem to have a lot in common. I write this not because I'm going on a date with her or anything, in fact quite the opposite, but simply to state how something like this reminds me of just how small this world is. And how sometimes, the most inconsequential of meetings may have profound effects on our lives.
