chance encounter
Last night I responded to an ad on craigslist, offering a free backpack. It's from LLBean, and looks perfect for day trips, and much better than the crappy one I bought for 10€ last year at Decathlon. I met the woman at her metro stop, and we chatted for a few minutes. It turns out that we're both children's book editors, and have worked at the same company!
She's a bit older than I am, so we worked there at different times, and know different people, but we ended up getting coffee and exchanging story ideas. It's just such a small world! I can't believe that this random woman and I are from the same, relatively obscure, field.
So, Louise, if you're reading this, hi! It was lovely to meet you, and I'll be sure to take the bag on many grand adventures. And I think I might actually start working on that story finally . . .
