So, on my way to work today I saw two women coming out of a cab and then walking across the street. Later on while at work, through the window, I saw the same two women walking by. Then after work, on my way home, I walked by them. Again. I know. What are the chances?? And I'm quite sure they didn't see me at all, at any time.

It made me wonder if I was extremely observant to notice them. Actually, it made me wonder many things, as most things do, which makes me wonder if I wonder too much. It seems I'm wonder-full.

The other day while at the subway, I made quick eye contact with a man and realized a second later who he was and he realized I looked familiar too because he came up to me and said, 'did we meet in Europe?'

No, we didn't. We worked together in 1998 at a restaurant. I knew his name (james), that I took him to a photography darkroom once to show him how to use the enlarger and that I another time years later bumped into him and his twin brother and joined them on a patio for a drink. He didn't even remember where he knew me from or my name. I remember all this even though he wasn't any kind of important person in my life and I never really thought of him since. I remember all this, from about 13 years ago, because I lived through it, and how wouldn't I remember it.
