in Austin, TX, and this guy walks up to me and says:

"Russ? That you?"

I look up, and it's Bill! (snowbank).

Takes me a second, since I'm not expecting to see a fellow fastlaner outside of Phoenix.

But there is he, smilin'. :)

Seems to me I recall someone talking about moving to Austin, but I just plumb forgot.

Good to see you, Bill.

Who knows where we'll bump into each other next? Vegas? Napa?

Phoenix? ;)
