Tonight I ran into an professor from my grad school days.  He remembered me, which surprised me.  It didn’t surprise me that he had the mental capacity to remember me — the man is one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, and that includes a huge repository of interesting facts.  If I ever need to have someone in place to use as a call-a-friend, he will definitely be on my list, but I digress.  No, I was surprised because I honestly never expect people to remember me.  I suppose that ensures that I’m always delighted when they do.
