Yesterday was a traveling day. I’ve spent the last week plus visiting Jon in L.A. I left last week from CT just as a huge system of thunderstorms made its way up the East Coast, making shambles of airline schedules all along its path.
My plane was delayed two hours, and while I was sitting there, I chatted with an elderly couple also from CT on their way to Idaho to visit the woman’s sister. We finally took off, and naturally I never expected to see them again.
Coming back from L.A. today, and you already know where this going, right? Of course you do. My stopover on the way back to Hartford was in Minneapolis, and when I was delivered to the gate where the plane to CT was waiting, I looked up and sitting across from me was the same couple I was talking to just over a week earlier, now on their way back to CT from Idaho.
You couldn’t make up stuff like this and have anyone believe it if you tried.

Sounds like a good start to a novel, but we may be comparing you to Keeler before you know it.
Be glad you were in LA for the last week, I live in the Philadelphia area and it hasn’t stopped raining since Saturday. Crazy, Florida like storms. I am going to need sheep to cut my lawn if it doesn’t stop soon.

Have you considered the possibility that a vast diabolical conspiracy is having you followed by innocent-looking couples for nefarious ends of their own? Happens to me a lot!

Somewhere, Rod Serling is digging it.

Bill Kelly beat me to it. Welcome to the TWILIGHT ZONE.
Though to be honest, back when I traveled all the time by air it wasn’t that unusual to run into people multiple times. It’s not like there are that many places to go where you can catch a flight out.
