My universe is contracting!

Amid the chaos of this city of millions, I randomly run into people I know ALL THE TIME.
I will now begin to proove this with a fun and exciting SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT!
Beginning today, November 8, 2005, I will keep track of every single person that I run into.

Things to keep in mind:
I live on Roosevelt Island. I don't live where everyone else lives. I still run into people.
I don't have a whole lot of friends, per se, but I still know a lot of people.
I am never looking for people I know.

Here's what you're all waiting for . . .

RANDOM ENCOUNTER: 11.8.05
BARRY! (his last name doesn't matter!)

Collision Time/Location:
Around 9 am. The 15-39 elevator in 399 Park Avenue.

And I know him from:
He's Mat's playwright friend from UCSD Grad school!!

Did I speak to him:
Yes. I did introduce myself, because I'm always afraid no one will remember me. Because I'm somewhat ordinary.

My general feeling about this encounter:
Great! I think I was super energetic because I had already been at work for an hour and he was just then arriving at work. I hope I didn't scare him.

Any Exciting News or Gossip?
Barry just took a permanent job at a law firm. He works on the 31st floor and I work on the 39th floor. He'd like to move to Brooklyn.

Cosmological Reason for Encounter:
Nothing blatant.

I'll probably come up with a chart for this experiment -- a chart and some other statistics visuals.
So that you will all think me the next great Einstein.
