Mr. Know-it-all lives...

Have you ever wondered if you have some kind of unexplainable cosmic connection with a person or place - the kind of bond which is continually revisited through random events and experiences that bring the two of you together in a wide variety of seemingly unrelated circumstances? So it is with Mr. Know-it-all (see September 3, 2008 and October 14, 2008).

A few days ago we (me, wife, minions) were on our way somewhere driving down the road next to a row of stores and passed by a familiar face holding a sign for a sale at one of said stores.

DOUBLETAKE

(My Brain)
Yes, it was him.

Don't panic.

He didn't see you.

After assuring myself of the above facts I turned to wife. "Did you see that guy with the sign?!!"

"Yes," says wife.

"That's Mr. Know-it-all! You know - THE GUY?"

"Oh, really?!" says wife craning her neck to look back at him.

"Let's turn around so you can see him," I say.

"No," says wife (voice of reason). "We'll see him on the way back!"

Unfortunately, we followed a different road home, BUT not to worry...I know I will see him again. He's like a bad penny

I was there, and yet it seems so much funnier when I hear the description that comes from your brain! I love it baby, and I am sure we, or at least you, will see mister-know-it-all again in some other random place.
