Today, I met my friend Josh for lunch. Josh, who attends Advent Hope with me, is a corporate finance lawyer who works a few blocks away from me in the Financial District. We went to Cafe Doppio, a nice little soup/sandwich/salad place on Broad and Beaver. I recommend it if you’re in the area for lunch. The food as good and the prices are reasonable for the area. And it’s certainly better than the Hale and Hearty Soups next door.

Anyway, we’re sitting there eating our food, and in walks Tom, another guy who goes to church with us. He comes up to me and says, “Hey Nathan, what are you doing here? Do you work around here?” I said yes and we exchanged our pleasantries.

Josh is trying to catch his eye and give him the whole “hey, I know you too” look. Tom looks at him, sticks out his hand, and says “Hi, I’m Tom. Nice to meet you.”

Josh paused, then said, “Hi, I’m Josh.”

Then there was an awkward silence, and Tom turned to get in line to order his lunch. No, that wasn’t uncomfortable at all.

At least not as uncomfortable as it will be when Tom sees Josh at church.
