OK, we are finally moved
OK, we are finally moved in and have some internet access. I would post some photos, but I can't find the usb to upload them. Anyway.....
Today on the way home from work in rush hour traffic I recognized the driver next to me as the man that had let me change lanes on the way home the day before. The strange thing was that it wasn't the same time of day. So, it makes it less likely that he just has the same schedule and route home. Though, even then what would the odds be that I would run into him in such a huge mass of cars?
The same thing happened with Sinbad (you know, tall, black comedian, mc hammer style pants). He came into my work in California,then a few years later I walked passed him in the Tokyo airport. I wonder how many people we see over and over in far flung places but we just don't know or recognize them.

This story sounds fishy.... I thought you were "running" through the tokyo airport?

you got me John. I downplayed the speed at which I passed Sinbad. The story is true, the velocity was just understated.

Was he wearing the hammer pants. or had he already moved on to the "Fat Sinbad" track suit?

Unless Sinbad was holding a broom and a dustpan-on-a-stick, or drivng one of those airport Cushmans I don't believe you, I think you are lying. Stop lying, liar.

Maybe since Sinbad's movie career has taken off, and his standup is just too funny for words, and Sinbad has become this huge huge thing all over the world like Ali and Jordan, he has no choice but to constantly travel the world in totally random patterns...like Kung Fu master without the ability to reconcile other people's problems.
I hear it's becoming quite the thing to see Sinbad in totally random places. No pattern or anything.

This post reminds me of the times that I saw Tony Robins, (self help guy with lots of those testimonial infomercials). I saw him first at an airport and then at a retailer's conference. Each time I saw him I went into this strange void where time doesn't exist and I come to hours later feeling great and thinking that it was only a moment before I was looking at Tony. It was later that my brother told me that Tony often inadvertantly hypnotises people with his teeth. Apparently that happens quite often.

It's a lie that I was hypnotized by Tonies' teeth, I only wish it. They seem so miraculous; the stuff that legends, myth, and epic novels are made of.
It is also a lie that I saw him at a retailers conference, I wished that too. The only truth there is that I saw him and his miraculous teeth at the airport. There, I came right out and admitted it. (Not to seem self righteous, but maybe you should consider this Joe, you big hairy liar?)
