At T1 today, he said something about a little corner restaurant near his office that has been there less than a year. I mentioned that they are doing a "Turkish Experience" (they are from Turkey, but the restaurant normally has normal midwestern fare on the menu) tomorrow night and that H and I are going. He said he was going also. Hm.

It's not that weird, I guess. After I had been seeing T1 for 8 or 9 years, H got a job which includes a house in a small town 4 miles from T1's office. And then T1 moved to the same town. So now he drives past my house regularly on his way to his second office. At least he does if he takes the most direct route. So we're in the same community (population 1400) and it was bound to happen. My first thought was "I hope he doesn't think I am stalking him". But I'm not and he is cool with it. I didn't really think that he was the kind of person who would want to go eat Turkish food.

I told him he can say hi to me (he has said in the past that he doesn't acknowledge clients in public unless they initiate it). It was interesting to hear him say that he could tell people that he knows us through H's work. He said that he has sometimes been caught unprepared when a companion will ask how he knows somebody. He doesn't like to lie, but he also figures that it is not cool to say that they are clients. I hadn't thought about not wanting to lie to a companion as being a reason that a T wouldn't say hi in public. Interesting.
