Lot's of reasons to pay homage to Carly Simon. After all, she bared her heart and soul to us in her music.

This particular nod to her is for "Coming Around Again." I think that this could become an anthem for some of us who are on the on-line dating circuit.

Here's why.

Admittedly, I have trouble, sometimes, remembering what I ate for dinner last night. However, I seem to have a prescient memory of whom I have written to, responded to, or actually had a real time encounter with.

Therefore, I am always quite amused when I receive a note from someone whose, ahem, acquaintance I have made….

Their note to me doesn't begin with any disclaimer about previous encounters. It is, apparently, written to  introduce themselves. Not reintroducing themselves, a first time, never knew you before, introduction.

So I wonder, how to respond? Clearly, had we connected the first time around we wouldn't be having a second go around.

So, for the moment I file the correspondence in the "Carly Simon folder." I figure, knowing that this prescient memory I have will, sooner than later, decrease. It is then that I can respond to them as if I never heard, wrote or saw them before.
