Okay, so this is the weekend of my high school reunion. As regular readers and friends are aware, I always have ambivalent feelings about my high school days. Had I known then what I know now, there's so much I would want to change. But there's no way to go back, so ......
I honestly haven't stayed in touch with too many of my high school classmates and friends. It's partly due to my self-imposed isolation. I had a new life after high school, and I felt that to have stayed close to all but a few was somehow bad for the new me. Over the years, I have stayed in touch with very few.
Anyhow, a couple of weeks ago, one of my friends e-mailed me on the Classmates site. I was glad to hear from her; I'd lost touch with her after she and her husband moved to Texas. Then (as I mentioned earlier), my new next-door neighbor is a classmate. Tonight, on my walk, I ran into someone else from my class, whom I probably hadn't seen since graduation (if memory serves).
So .... just what is the Great Vast Universe trying to say to me?

If I were a huge believer in coincidence, I'd say "not a whole lot."
Coincidence is two people wearing the same color shirt to work. But when spooky and cosmic things like this happen, it's hard to dismiss it in that way.
Maybe The Great Decider is giving you a few more people you're familiar with to have at the table with you. But that's my guess.
