When you least expect it.

A stranger approached me at Barnes & Noble tonight. We chatted for a bit. Then to Applebee's for a lemonade and more conversation. The last activity was a trip to Hy-Vee to procure some pretzels. At the end of the night, she gave me her number. All because I was in B&N. You meet the most interesting people when you least expect it. Suffice it to say, the smile still hasn't left my face.

This has left me wondering, "Is this how it happens?" Having no intention in finding anything but a book, I was surprised to have someone just randomly approach me and ask how my night was going. Who knows, maybe this might turn out to be my "how we met" story. Here's to hoping.

A decade behind the times (or more)

Apparently I missed the boat over a decade ago when blogs became the outlet of so many disheartened youth and members of my generation. So, here is my attempt at keeping track of my thoughts, digitally. Inspired by so many of my grad school cohort members, I've been moved to create my own blog. Take this as it may come and enjoy a laugh if need be.

I'm thinking this may start out as simply thoughts and ideas, but could potentially evolve into vignettes or something altogether different. Stay tuned as we travel down this path together, and the Dao will be our guide.
