Blast from the past

Today Melissa (fellow trainee at TCH) and I went to the Draught House or something like that, near Baptist today for lunch. It's a bar-ish place, with lots and lots of beers. We decided we needed to have a drink with lunch. ;-) Anyway, we walk in and who should be right there behind the bar but Stuart Hipp!! i sort of thought I recognized him, but wasn't sure if he'd know who I was. I should have known, being that I've seen him several times since HS and he's always known who I am. But, anyway, Melissa ordered her beer, and handed him her ID and he was like "well, I wasn't going to ask because I know how old she is (meaning me) so I figured you were the same age." And then he was like "where do I know you from, Wake? No? where did you go to college?" Then he was asking a few other things, and I finally was like, Mt. Tabor. At that point I asked to make sure he was indeed Stuart, and he says, "I know you're Nicole something... didn't you play basketball or soccer or something?, I know I know you from band, but I thought you did something else too". FREAKISH. I guess it was while I was still at App, that almost every summer I ran into him, at the VIllage Tavern, and some other place he was waiting tables. Bizarro. It was odd, because the other day I went the back way home after I'd gone to check out all the work at MTH, and thought of Travis Hipp and him flipping the in-car car at that curve. AND, then Lauren said she'd recently seen someone that reminded her of him. Anyway, he's going to be doing something that sounded guidance counselor-ish at a Military school in the fall. Random. I wonder who I'll see next, Lauren thinks it should be Marc Holton. That'd be a trip. Anyway, just thought I'd share!!
