The final story came after the visit to the medical clinic. I limped on back up the hill, everything in that campus is either up a hill or down one and then up again...
I got on the shuttle bus to go home. I was sitting toward the back, not my normal place, but it gave me a place to put my foot up on the tire well.
As the bus filled up, I was taking up two seats and a gal came and asked to sit with me. I moved over and continued messing with whatever it was I was doing to entertain myself.
This happened to include a drawing I had done of an actor, in a role, I liked. I have been obsessed with Illya Kuryakin since I first saw him.
Turned out, so had she. We talked, introduced ourselves, exchanged phone numbers, talked about writing - all about The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
I'm still friends with her today, this is my friend who moved out to Kerrville this last fall.

Illya Kuryakin in The Man From U.N.C.L.E., now that's a blast from the past. So enjoyed that television series. Nice that you made friends with someone with a similar fondness for him too.
