Beware of Ex-Boyfriends Eating Lunch

Where was the horoscope warning me on this? And why didn't I read it!

It's actually kinda strange as he did cross my mind the other day, as it was about this time last year that things started to go as sour as freshly baked lutefisk. He was in the midst of applying for IPL clerkships on the "Rocket Docket" out east, and I foolishly joked I'd have to start hording my frequent flyer miles so I could visit. This apparently was me thinking WAY too fast for him (VISIT damn-it, not 'til death!) things started to fall apart rather quickly after that. Finally, in December I received probably the first MS Word "Dear Jen" document...shame they don't have an offical template for that!

The weird thing was how I recognized him. As I cruised into JJ's for my ham and cheese, there was an average blond head peeping over a booth...with N's ears. Apparently he has fairly distinctive ones, I never knew!? Further reconaissance revealed a Law Review, a McSweeney's and BBQ chips.

Surprisingly, he didn't turn around and I quickly grabbed my sub and left. While I might have patched up a bruised heart, the sheer unexpectedness of this encounter and the uncanny timing caught me off guard.
