Today, while out in the world trying to earn some bucks, I had some time to kill between two of my appointments. I was in the heart of Broward County somewhere and decided to just walk around a nearby mall, look at stuff, Be American, be a consumer, Christmas is coming soon.

As I was minding my own business, almost ready to leave, I saw someone that I hadn't seen since the early to mid 90's. This was someone I had known pretty well back then. She was at my wedding, I was at hers. She had married one of my best friends, who for the purposes of this blog I will call NTF. They got divorced around 1994 or so, maybe 1995, its all a blur, but back in the day, she was one of my people. We hung together. She was a friend of mine.

When they got divorced, and she moved away to Virginia, we lost track, and then today, while I was killing time in a mall somewhere up north in Broward County, I saw her. It had been a long time, so I wasn't a hundred percent sure it was her, so I followed her like a common stalker. She was walking fast, and I almost gave up without being sure it was even her, but I didn't, and it was.

She still lives up North, and was just down for a little vacation and just happened to be in that mall at the same time I was. A mall that she, nor I never go to, ever, except for today. It was good to talk to her. It made me think about the old days. She is still as beautiful and outgoing as she ever was, and seems to be doing well for herself.

I find this chance encounter quite remarkable, so I am remarking on it in my blog tonight.
