end of..." when BOOM! he bumped into another city
dweller out for a day's walk in the park.
"I'm terribly sorry," he apologized, "I was so caught up in

Smiling, Sheila responded, "It's OK. Nothing's broken...
No really, I wasn't watching my step either."

Suddenly they both stopped making excuses

and stared at each other.
"Don't I know you from somewhere?" inquired Tim while
Sheila exclaimed, "You're Tim, Jack's brother, aren't
you?!"

each other the week before at a party that Jack had
given.
Still laughing, Tim suggested, "Why don't we have a cup
a coffee and donut?" to which Sheila replied, "I thought
you wanted to continue your diet!" They both were still
laughing by the time they reached the Swimming Donut
