This really happened

So, last night, Friday, I stopped after work to pick up some salad stuff at Kroger's to take to Aviva Orenstein and David Szony's house for Shabbat.

It's the end of an intense week, learning my new job duties at the HT, really focusing, forgetting to eat lunch, being so intense that people were asking me if there was something wrong.

So, feeling a little old and tired.

Strolling the produce section at Kroger's.

Suddenly, I spot a guy I THINK I know, and give him a big, friendly smile. Then I get a few feet closer and see --- it is NOT the guy from synagogue that I know. That guy is just a little taller and a little thinner than this guy.

But he is smiling, too.

I said "Oh, we don't know each other, do we? I thought you were this professor I know..."

He, still smiling, said "No, we don't know each other, but I think we should."

I said something inane and laughed and moved on...but I can tell you -- that little encounter left me smiling for a long time! Made my day! No, my week!

I felt younger for quite awhile!
