Talking Heads

 Yesterday I met a woman who can talk as much or more that I do. It seems that she remembers me from a long time ago. She says that I have not changed in looks or weight at all--so of course I do like her (smiling). Although I don't remember seeing her before, (she does seem vaguely familiar) she does have all of the facts right. The names, the places, the time frame, are all on target, it seems that we travelled in the same circles 30 years ago. She seemed to need to talk and perhaps I did as well. She wished we could perhaps have a cup of coffee somewhere. I was the one who suggested the place, we had lunch and talked forever. A little later we realized that we were in the same bank earlier and I had tapped her on the shoulder to point her to the next teller. She did not remember that I was the one who touched her shoulder, that act of one hour ago, but she remembered me from 30 years before. The mind is very interesting.
