	My family and I were eating in a small, out of the way
restaurant in Kyoto when we noticed a history teacher from my high
school (Hong Kong International School).  Similarly, my family (this time,
without me) was at the Epcot Center (if I've mangled the spelling too
badly, its the thing in Florida not too far away from Disney World) and
met an old high school friend of mine (Sabino High in Arizona).

	We have a habit of running into people when we'd rather not run
into people, also (with me, I meet old friends when I'm too cross to
speak, and I start ranting or throwing sharp objects).
