a miracle 20 years ago,today...

where was i,20 years ago,today??? i was in Branford,Connecticut,visiting a friend,after having a cross country trip to remember,including being in Grand Central Station,hearing,"Let's Go Rangers",echoing throughout the building,as i walked through it(it was during the New York Rangers' successful trip to the Stanley Cup,after 54 years of not winning the Stanley Cup(no more "1940" chants),and they were playing the New Jersey Devils,at that time... i remember getting on the last train to New Haven that night(at 2:10 am,walking six miles to Hamden,and being cursed at,by a newspaper man,for asking for the time(i estimated the time was about 3:30 am)... i caught a bus back to New Haven,after devouring six Double Chocolate donuts,at Dunkin Donuts(actually got very lucky,it was a Sunday)... actually,it was a huge gamble that my friend was going to be home,because she flew for United Airlines... i hit the "jackpot",when she answered the phone,and i asked her to tell me where i was... she could not tell me,and i told her that i was in Branford,and she said to wait there at a supermarket,which was basically a half mile from her apartment... i started on my trip in early May,hitchhiked halfway across the country,and then caught a Greyhound bus,with help,in Colorado,got to New York City,on a Saturday night,traveled to New Haven,and Branford overnight,and my friend could have been anywhere in the country,but that weekend,was at home,and i just happen to show up the day she got home from a trip... odds of that happening:about 25,000 to 1!!!!!! what a memory...
