I’m just back from an exciting lunch with Blog-Bud Lou and her husband Toby; that’s the three of us in the pic above. Why the emphasis on “exciting,” you ask? Well… have you ever had cause for the Heimlich Maneuver to be used on you? No? Me neither, until today. To make a long and embarrassing story short, I tried to inhale a piece of steak finger at lunch today and wasn’t successful. At all. But, things worked out (obviously and quite literally), and Toby gives good Heimlich. Thank God. While I wouldn’t call my little adventure in breathing alternate substances life-threatening, it was most definitely exciting. I didn’t particularly enjoy being the center of attention of the whole frickin’ restaurant for three or four minutes, either. I wanted to find a hole and crawl right in it after the crisis passed.
So… lunch was very pleasant after the initial bit of excitement was over. To cut to the chase: have you ever met someone for the first time and immediately felt at ease and at home, right off the bat? That was the case today… speaking only for myself, of course. But then, I knew we would hit it off. It’s not like we’re strangers, what with nearly three years of reading each other’s stuff day in and day out.
Toby and Lou are great people, to put it very mildly. Today might have been our first meeting, but it sure as Hell won’t be our last… if I have anything to say about it.
