Have you ever analyzed a situation and then thought, "I just had to be at
the right place at the right time!" Those instances happen far to few,
but such unusual moments are what some may say are worth living and
certainly bloggable.
It was a nice Saturday night in June of this year. Yes, this is months
overdue, but better to blog now then never.
I was venturing into Pasadena for a little high school reunion.
Ten years do fly quickly. The evening was great; we had dinner together
and caught up on all the good times back in the 90's and the new adventures
and what many had endured.
Everyone congratulated me with getting my doctoral degree. After awhile,
it did get a bit annoying. After all, I would never raise my hand when
a stewardless asked, "Is there a doctor in the house?!?!"
After the reunion many of us just stucked around to grab drinks and share
some good laughs. I was dancing, and chatting, and wandering as my usual
self, checking out the scene. I looked to my left and to my surprise, I
encountered a fellow astronomer. A colleague if I must say. This is too
surprising.
Yes, there are astronomers in Pasadena. It's probably the second city
with the largest number of astronomers. But then again, this is my first
time in a Pasadena bar and what's the odds of me of running into another
astronomer when I'm not working? Maybe I should have gone to a liquor
store and just bought a lottery ticket.
Either way, such moments are certainly a reminder that life is always
unexpected.
