I will admit – I do worry sometimes that perhaps I come off as a big of a wing-nut. I mean, let’s be serious here – among the other daily drivel, I write about coincidentally recurring numbers from a house filled with plush and/or rubber chickens – there has to be at least one reader out there that hides the computer screen when they surf over to this page on any given day…

However, like those recurring or consecutive numbers, the power of coincidence is strong here in the Such Is Life household. Just this past weekend, Mrs. That Dan Guy and I were watching Saturday Night Live when I received a text message from one of my sisters – the one who is almost at the end of an extended trip to Africa. If you’re familiar with SNL, you’ll know of the famous Weekend Update segment, a weekly skit lampooning the news with a fake anchor sitting at a fake news anchor desk. It's not real.

Well, while I was exchanging e-mails back and forth with my sister, fake anchor Seth Myers sat in front of the big map of the world that resides behind the fake anchor desk – but this time around, virtually every shot was directly in front of…AFRICA!! How are these things even possible, I ask you??

And – I kid you not – at some point during our exchanges one of her text messages arrived at exactly 10:11:11 – that blasted 11:11 again!!

So, clearly I must learn to capitalize on this recurring, coincidental, power of suggestion thing. A higher power is clearly trying to get through to me.

So, for the rest of this morning, I am going to lie on our reclining sofa, and visualize myself holding a pair of Paul McCartney tickets.

Or maybe I should start with something much grander – I will visualize myself working at a Windows PC that actually works properly…

Chow for now!
