Well after last week, I thought that the mainstay of seeing old friends was over. I mean, how many people did I actually know. Well, I was in the King Kullen supermarket down the block from my Moms house buying some things for potato salad (oh yeah!! the home-made, mom's secret German recipe, the one that my mother doesn't know I know how to make). I had just gotten the pickles and was rounding the corner of the dairy aisle, when something familiar caught the corner of my eye. It was a dude in his thirties, in summer-biker attire, flanked on each side by a child, I did a double-take as the procession shuffled past. I knew this guy. "John'? I asked.... Holy cow!!! Well it was John. I hadn't seen him in years! It was awesome!! After the supermarket, I followed him back to his house (at his bequest, not in a weird stalker way), and hung out with him, his wife (also a friend from high school, and my friends Kevin (also a few people who I didn't know yet, but were equally as awesome as my old friends. We spent the evening playing Michigan-Rummy (an awesome game, which we played for Nickels). It was an amazing time.
The next day I ran into another friend from my past, while visiting one of my former haunting grounds (The Cup Cafe). My friend, John Reid was there, and we spent a few doing the "well what have you been up to thing. It was awesome to see him.
Well, this has been a week of pleasant reunions and unexpected encounters. It's awesome!!!!
