David Gilmore

I can't believe I haven't posted about this yet! I had so much going on...
Well, nothing is stopping me now, right!?!

Monday morning I was working at Panera. It wasn't such a great day, because people were being unusually grumpy that morning. I was in a pretty decent mood, so people kinda took their grumpiness out on the weird, happy guy.
That was all OK though, because in walks this guy, who was wanting to order some bagels for himself and his girlfriend.

Whoa! Could it be? This guy looked so familiar. Then I thought it might just be my long lost best friend from middle school. I wasn't sure because it had been like nine years or whatever it is, but I had to act, y'know? So, I asked him if he was from Fort Myers. He said he was! He was happy. He acted just like "Gilmore" would! So, then I just came out and asked him if he was David Gilmore!

Yeah! He was, so I reminded him of who I was and it clicked instantly. I guess it helped that he homeschooled right after leaving Middle School. Anyway, we were slammed at Panera, but I still decided that talking to him was more important than my job at that point. So, I stopped what I was doing and asked him to write down his phone number.

When I got done with work, I called Joy and told her about the whole thing, and then decided to just call him. He wasn't doing anything so we met up for lunch. It was so cool. This guy was like my best friend in middle school along with Tonio and Jeed. How cool was this?

I love reading your blog! Awesome story!! Same thing has happened to me in the past when I went to college in MA.

I know this is far fetched but and probably couldn't be, the person I know...but, you mentioned a kid Clerison, is he from Coral Gables High?
