Pink Floyd (soft coincidence)
September 13, 2008
(I call this a soft coincidence because both the timing isn’t all that close and none of the people or places involved are, as far as I know, related.)
1. Yesterday the administrative assistant at the library, an older man with a strong East Coast accent, came to my desk asking if we have any Pink Floyd CDs. The discussion went on for a few minutes and distinctly amused me, I think because for some reason I didn’t expect him to be interested in Pink Floyd.
2. This morning I went to Top Pot. There was a very long line, and the place was busy, but my eye was caught by one guy in line in particular. A bit later, I went to sit at a stool in the window, but a guy who had just come in with his laptop asked nicely if he could sit there because an outlet was nearby. So I moved to a different stool, which, I realized a few minutes later, happened to be facing the guy who had caught my eye and who was now sitting out on the sidewalk with a couple of people. I looked at him a little more as I drank my coffee and realized he looked a lot like this guy I had a relationship with in college. The similarity was so strong, I had to really scrutinize him for a few moments. Finally I decided it wasn’t him; then I noticed he was wearing a Pink Floyd T-shirt.
