Long-time friends, first-time meet-up (via Glynnis Ritchie)

GPOYS, because when one is irregularly gratuitious, gratuitousness often happens multiple times in a few hours.

I met Ben for breakfast a few days ago.  It was the first time we ever found ourselves in the same city, even after almost five years of living in neighboring states.  A mutual friend I met during a summer program demanded that Ben and I begin communicating, since according to her we had too much in common and were too like-minded not to be great friends.  Emails and phone calls ensued, but this week was the first time we met!  When we started talking, I never would have imagined we’d meet for the first time five years later over breakfast in New York City.  Life is pretty incredible sometimes.
