Today ended up being busier then I expected. I had an interview (which went well) and helped pack paper bags with food stuff for the Easter Ministry (1200 meals to needy Philly families, plus 2 wells in Sudan). Yet the best part of the day was the totally random, unplanned part. After my interview I talked with my sister. We were discussing Ben and Jerry's free ice cream day. My plan was to get off a stop early, at 40th street and walk down to the B&J's to get a free cone. Then I would walk home to get out of my suit jacket and get ready for organized mayhem (packing food into bags).
I was off the El, and walking down 40th when, totally randomly, a guy calls out my name. It ended up being a past co-worker and college friend. We had worked together at Sandy Cove as life guards and then ended up at the same college. It was totally unexpected and really nice. We talked about what we were up to: my interview and the fact that he was canvassing for a Children's Not-for-profit. We got onto what we wanted to be doing: Finishing my Novel and He being a DJ.
So it ended up that I met a friend and talked instead of having Ice Cream. Sure it was not what I had planned. Yes I missed out on some rather good and free ice cream. Still I can get ice cream any time I want (although most likely not free) and randomly meeting friends on the side of the road is, well, random. And random meetings are the best kind.
