Good Lord this County is way to small. Talk about six degrees of separation. Tonight I met a man, age seventy one, for coffee. He was very pleasant, turned out to be a retired doctor that had been a surgeon and was recently widowed about nine months ago. I never asked his last name but we had a nice chat at Starbucks.
After we finished our coffee he asked if I would like to go for a drink and dinner at a near by restaurant and since I was having a nice time with him I said yes. We had a drink at the bar, went to a table and since neither one of us was very hungry we split a salad. When we were done he gave me his card which I immediately put in my purse.
I returned home and called Nancy. As I was talking to her I pulled out his card and saw his last name. Forty years ago, my husband had been friends with he and his wife and we had received a Christmas card from them which included a picture. This wife was one he divorced years ago. I couldn't believe it. I swear it is scary. He wants to call me again and if he does I will tell him about my husband knowing him way back when. There was a whole group of doctors from Orange County that followed football and this guy was one that was in that group that knew my husband. It actually was prior to me marrying.
I also heard from a man that lives in Lake Forest, that is about five miles from here. He is 6'3" tall in his sixties and asked me if I would like to go to lunch. I'm going to do just that. Life if to short not to take advantage of what is offered to you.
Dez is coming down tomorrow for the weekend so it will be a fun weekend with the Performing Arts thrown in for entertainment. Not that we can't entertain ourselves nicely.
I can't wait to see what next week brings.
