Coincidence

Last night we went to a play at the Phoenix Theatre. There were two empty seats on my right, and just before cur­tain a man came and sat next to me. Through­out the per­form­ance (One Man Lord of the Rings, with Charles Ross), I kept my elbows in so as to allow the fel­low on my right some space. After all, I can afford to lean the oth­er way, coz Matt was on that side, and I always like to lean on him!

After the show we headed out to the lobby and saw a famil­i­ar face: Emile was one of the four oth­er people in my Fourth Year Act­ing classes in uni­ver­sity. I had­n’t seen him for…well, over two dec­ades any­way. Turns out, he was the fel­low sit­ting next to me, and neither of us noticed. It was so great to see him again, and to be able to intro­duce him to The Girl!

Turns out… Emile’s son was in The Boy’s act­ing classes in his first semester of First Year, but then dropped out. So The Boy remem­bers him.

Turns out…Emile’s car was parked right next to ours.

I love it when stuff like that happens.
