Pam and I were returning from Las Vegas, going thru Ford International to the baggage claim.
As we approached the area where the locals greet their incoming guests, a man jumped forward from the crowd shouting “Steve! Steve! It’s great that you’re back” or something like that.

As I recovered my senses, I realized that this was Tim Frey.
I’ve known Tim for 15 or so years. We worked a few projects together back when he was a programmer and when we were both on the I.T. Security team.
We get along well enough and share jokes but we’ve never mixed personal lives.

Tim then explained that he’d been with his family, waiting for his sister to fly in.
When he saw me coming down the hallway, he nudged his dad, saying “I know this guy. Watch this.”
Tim told Pam, “I just wanted to freak Steve out.”
I said that he succeeded and that I liked it.
