There I was at Panera Bread – Brentwood, getting some things done: image editing for the Broderick Builders website, journaling about yesterday’s interesting goings on, and engaged in the ADHD-fueled juggling of three or four other activities, when I recognized the large, well-dressed fellow who strolled past, breakfast in hand. It was none other than Jamon Martin.
He was as surprised as I was, for we’ve not run into each other in years. I believe the last time I saw him was during a visit to Otter Creek Church, at least two or three years ago, and probably more.
The Martins have been very close friends of the Frasiers for over 30 years, with both families having roots at Brentwood Hills, another local church where my folks remain very active.
We did not get to talk for long, but it was really good to see him. One of my favorite things these days is the happenstance “run-intos” which occur with some regularity at various local WiFi hotspots where I go most weekday mornings in an attempt to get some work done. Ironically, it wasn’t too long ago when I’d have dreaded seeing anyone I knew. Yes, life is much better these days.
