here he comes, walking down the street...

 

Hahahaha! 

I just had to riff on that Monkees song!

Not that the physicist looks like any of the four in that group.

It's just the song cued up onto my mental jukebox as I said the words to myself upon seeing him approach.

That's all!

(smile!)

Just how was it that we had this luncheon at The Original Pancake House?

Well, I'd sent him several text messages the last week or so and had no response...

so I called him last night to see if he'd lost his phone.

Nope!

He called me back and he set up this meal together, justthatfast.

How very sweet!

Those pancakes were, too.

Yes, they were an unusual side, but perfect!

And, as he ate his crepe sampler, and I ate the tuna salad half of my meal, we talked, as we do.

We were there, still talking, after the waitress left and while the staff was closing the place down, having been there for over two hours.

(smile!)

However, he did get to the important part: he has renewed his friendship with a woman he knew 37 years ago, in high school.

She's even the one who got married in a hot air balloon some few years ago, with him as the marriage officiant. 

That would have been 2017, the summer of the solar eclipse that was visible here.

He had been ending one relationship and starting another at that time. 

Anyway, while he was visiting his folks this summer, he and she met up and had a good visit!

I told him again about Christina and Anthony and how they got started.

I truly hope things will work out for the bfe and the woman in Ohio.

I'll say this... he has a smile in his eyes again.

That's been gone for several years.

I'm so glad it's back!

(smile!)
