It's All About Timing

Buddy Dan, friends since our Mass Comm days at SUNY Plattsburgh, saved me from a most embarrassing meltdown at B&H the other day.

I needed video supplies for my business so I made my way to 34th/9th and happened to bump into Dan doing the same. When we got to the checkout... oops, no credit card, no money, no checks, no ATM, I was totally empty-handed.

Enter my knight in shining armor - graphic artist extraordinaire Dan Reardon.

He whips out a flush of credit cards and laughs. I'm ten shades of red. The cashier is confused. "Who's paying for this, you or him?" she asks.

I haven't seen this cute kid with the sparking ocean eyes in over 6 years and rather than impress him with my grown-up business acumen he's rescuing me from an airhead move. That pretty much put an end to any bragging rights I had for PilotGirl Productions.

The plus side is the experience afforded us a walk to the nearest bank with a quick catch-up on each others lives. I love serendipity.
