Anne and Richard

Anne and Richard are old friends of mine. I have not seen them in such a long time and thanks to the magic of Facebook we are now in touch again.

I think of them as magical in a way. We had a few adventures with them that make the think this. Particularly the night we went to see Tom Petty at the Forum, lost our key in the crowd of 1000's, but found it. Ran out of gas in the parking lot (in the parking space we had just found). Ran into a friend at the end of the concert in the parking lot who just happened to have a full gas can. Then we went to Shipps.

Shipps was a 50's style diner that had a toaster at each end of the table. It was at the far, short end of the rectangular table. Richard sat opposite it (at the other far, short end of the table). He tossed two pieces of bread over the table they circled perfectly, spinning until they landed exactly in the toaster in the exact right spots. Amazing.
