A Small World of Happy Conincidences

True story.

A woman who works in Blair's group  had a birthday last week. Her husband gave her a book, For The Love of Cats, that he'd randomly found and purchased on Amazon. The woman looked at the title page, saw my name and said, "That's Blair's wife!"

 I just find it kind of cool that of all the cat books out there (and trust me... there are a few), this man happened to pick out one that was written by the wife of the guy his wife works with. 

One hundred thousand more small coincidences like that and I'll be a millionaire. ;)

Cheers,

We thought she had just fractured the leg, but the x-rays revealed a tumor that, thankfully, was confined to the leg.
