“How YOU doin’?” Tony, my Brother in Law asked in his Irish-American accent.

“Fine thanks.” I replied as Marie, Tony’s wife, appeared.

After a catchup, Marie asked: “Anything you’d like to do while you are here?”

“I’d like to go to the top of the Empire State.”

“Today, there won’t be time tomorrow.” Tomorrow I was flying home.

Tony and I went into the City by Subway.

There was a queue to get the lift.

As we queued, idly chatting, I felt a hand on my arm.

“Hello, Richard, I didn’t expect to see YOU here!”

It was Agnetha!!!!!!!

You sure seem to have attracted her! What were the chances?
Richard Hunt about 2 years ago

Exactly, I suppose the chances were not zero but of meeting like that, pretty slim. Since she had been talking about probability in Atlantic City, we did briefly discuss this, but it bored Tony silly and anyway I wanted to look at New York from the top, where (in the 1933 film) King Kong climbed to. (Remember my interest in Film Unit at Sheffield)
