Birthday party coincidences

I've just returned from the tail-end of Hiroko's birthday party. I introduced myselef to one of her friends, who looked at me askance and said that he once went to school in Wisconsin with a guy whose brother had the same name as me. Eric? I asked. Yes, he said. We then realized that we had met four years ago. I still have his copy of Twin Peaks. I had gone travelling and by the time I returned, he had changed his number. Hiroko was shocked we knew each other. Posted by eku at July 11, 2004 3:59 AM
