Dippity..Dah

"How about lunch at our local sandwich shop around 2:30?" was the message I received from Bing. I was not prepared for the extraordinary circumstances of that lunch. Five unrelated people, in one location, connected, all because of a quarter dropping to the ground at said shop. This action led to meeting a man, discussing sandwiches, who in turn, took his back to his work, causing another to arrive shortly afterwards to order one for himself. Admittedly, Philly Steak guy had never been to this shop, but the sheer coincidence of meeting Bing & I was strange. Even more so for us as I realized he was sent by the quarter dropping man. The timing of the events were so uncanny that I couldn't believe it was occurring. Eventually, it led to phone number exchanging because the 2nd meeting was so surreal!

Oh Bing, I'm so glad you were there for the most surreal "Twilight Zone" episode. The exchange of looks between us, classic. I can never tell the story the way it unveiled, but it will remain in my memory as an "a-ha" moment. I'm not consciously aware of having such a serendipious moment like this before. Opportunities and possibilities.....
