We encountered each other on the 2/3 train. You were listening to a philosophy podcast, the topic of which was reading texts twice. I was reading Marti’s account of a trial, and I caught you searching for it as we sat next to each other. We spoke briefly about the podcast, and I mentioned I had received my PhD in philosophy and always instructed my students to read texts twice. You mentioned you were an engineer and rarely read things twice. We parted at Borough Hall. The doors closed as I planned on asking you for a drink. At the next stop, I got off and returned to Borough Hall. How silly it is I thought you may still be there.
