When Erics Collide!

I had a lunch appointment with one of my old co-workers today. After a certain amount of 'I don't wanna pick, you pick' via email, we settled on an establishment. I was to meet Eric at Noon.

Driving through the parking lot just before noon, I saw Eric and his family. Not the Eric I was there to meet, but another of the Erics I know. With a 'what are the odds' sort of amusement, I parked my car and laughed my way over to them. As I chit-chatted with them, the Eric I was there to meet pulled in and I dragged him into our brief conversation.

As we walked into the restaurant, Eric noted he was glad it happened to me. He noted that he would have second-guessed who he'd been emailing all this time.

I thought it was funny.
