I have tended to have these kinds of things happen to me all my life. I will think I am going to see someone and sure enough they appear. Or I will stop in the middle of what I am doing to run out to get something and see someone I should not have seen. A guy I was dating would say they were busy and I would go to a packed Venice Beach to show a visitor around, somewhere I would never go otherwise, and guess who I 
see there with another woman!
Well yesterday I felt like getting breakfast. I did not want Chinese so I went to the local deli where everyone in Los Angeles was piled in. I sat at the counter between a friendly woman from Brooklyn and two French women. Eventually I started to talk to the French woman nearest me. I asked her if she was from Paris. She said no and that she was actually born in China. That somehow rang a bell.
When I first started in ral estate, 12 years ago, I used to cold call absentee owners to see if they were thinking of selling. I had some great on-the-phone-relationships with many of them but have never met them. One of them was a French woman. I stopped calling about 5 years ago when I moved my business online. So I asked her what her first name was. Sure enough it was the French woman. Another other worldly experience to add to my list.
And no, she is not selling.
