Yesterday.

Completely random but yesterday as I was sitting in The Quays bar on Shop street in Galway. I was sitting at a sidewalk table having a beer when this lady asked to sit at the free seat next to me and my friend. We started chatting and she asked the popular "where are you from?" question. I said New York and she said, "Oh I loooove NYC. I'm from Roscommon but used to live in Brooklyn." I say, "No shit! Me too. Where did you live?" She then said "Bay Ridge" and I had a fit. I used to live in Bay Ridge. I was just talking to my BFF Sharon telling her I missed Bay Ridge. Turns out she only lived a couple blocks from me. Small fucking world ehh? That I'd move to Galway to meet an Irish lady that lives in Galway but used to live in Bay Ridge Brooklyn. We chatted for ages and it was nice to have that common ground so far from home.She used to be a bartender in a bar in the neighborhood and we talked about that for a while and how we loved Bull McCabes on St. Marks place. Lovely chat. I live for randomness like this.
