Any way you like it

I was in Starbucks this morning and the guy in front of me ordered "Two quad espressos over ice and 4 apple bran muffins." That's a first for me. I went in a coffee shop once that named all its drinks after famous people and the Keith Richards was 4 shots of espresso in a cup of hot chocolate. Hard to resist that sort of thing and I bet it tastes way better than a Red Bull.

I've been home for a couple of days now but one big question is still with me from vacation. If you're away somewhere and you run into someone you kind of know but you don't really like them, what do you do? This happened to us- it was a girl who played soccer with one of my kids and her extended family. I remember her dad being the most obnoxious sideline parent I've ever had to endure. He wasn't violent or completely abusive, but he would spend the entire game yelling to his daughter what to do. I remember thinking that it must be very difficult for this kid to learn to understand the game if she doesn't have the chance to think for herself.

Anyway, it took me a couple of days to realize where I know him from (the girl was unrecognizable as I hadn't seen her in 8 years or so but he looked the same) and then finally on the day we were leaving I waved hi to his wife from across the lobby. And that was it. Was that the right thing to do? Was I obligated to sit and chat with them just because we were slightly acquainted 8 years ago? Oh well, maybe I'll run into them in SuperFresh and say, "didn't I see you..."
