I got to the store, snagged a cart and my son and I started shopping. As I perused the aisles, I heard a woman's voice clearly addressing me: "You look familiar. Do I know you?"

I looked up, and in a moment or two I recognized a lady with which I had a short, but very passionate and intense, relationship nearly twenty years ago. I was kind of nervous, and very conscious of my shabby appearance.

I composed myself and admitted who I was. Like I said, it was a short relationship and I was kind of a jerk when we split up: I basically just stopped calling her and ducked her calls. She remembered me, and we had a ten or fifteen minute chat. We hugged, and my son and I continued shopping.

My son looked up at me and said, "Dad?"

"Yeah, Bud?" I replied.

"You have boogers hanging out of your nose."
