Sometime last month, on a day I don't remember, in a time I can't recall, something special happened to me. A friend of mine, named Joseph approached me with a friend of his. I had never met this stranger and he had never met me. He was a friend of Joseph's from "back in the day" whatever that means. He introduced us.
In true Joseph fashion, his lips began to move seconds before he spoke, as he pointed to me and finally uttered, "Amir, this is my friend""
I cut Joseph off immediately and said, "Brian. Your name is Brian." I'm not sure why, but I'm certain I said those exact words. I can still hear them. "Brian. Your name is Brian."
"That's exactly right," spoke Brian. "But how did you know?"
