On coffee shops and christmas lights

Today I saw three people I knew at Fourth Coast.  Well, four really.  But one of them I only knew by sight and couldn't remember her name.  Oh, I just remembered who she is.  So four.  One of them was the barista, who I went to Norrix with and I'm pretty sure he had no remembrance/recognition of me.  So that was interesting.  Last time I had seen him, a few years ago, he was a skinny skater boy.  But he grew up, as we all have, and isn't as skinny as he was, and looked a bit different, but I still recognized him.  I ran into my friend Mack who was having coffee with the girl who I had forgotten and then remembered.  And then a kid I went to school with freshman year came in, and he recognized me, but I pretended that I hadn't seen/recognized him because I didn't feel like having an awkward conversation with him.  So that was fun. And then for the tree lighting ceremony, the trees were already lit up, due to gremlins or some other such nonsense.  But I had fun, as did the Omans.  Oh what an interesting day.
