What's in a name?

It's sunny and very warm this morning. The perfect summer's day you might imagine. I just made my way back from one of those office supply stores. Since when did two legal pads cost six bucks? I guess I don't pay enough attention to such things. Moving right along...

As a joke I set up a group on FaceBook called My Name is Lester Bryant too. As I say it was just a joke in that I noticed about a dozen other people there with the same name from about the planet. I was interested in who might respond and how. There are actually around 250 Lester Bryant's in this country alone. I sent out invites to those with the same same to join the group. I got a response back from a gent in London with the same name who seemed pretty cool. The weirdly funny message came from a guy in the south with the same name as mine who wrote simply, "do i know u?" Wouldn't you remember if you knew someone with the same name as yours? I responded with, "of course not, sorry to have bothered you."
