Frank,

Maybe the stars are arranged in some sort of scary alignment, but there's an interesting series of coincidences going on.

One coincidence is that an acquaintance at last night's dinner party -- the one I mentioned when you called to gloat about your one-liner :) -- got really excited telling me that one of the photos in my living room is being featured as a 2-page spread in this weekend's Washington Post Magazine. Understand that I never buy that publication and would never have known about it had he not come over for dinner.

A second coincidence is that a good friend of mine who comes over for dinner several times each year is the business manager of that magazine. The next time he comes over, I'll show him the magazine and ask if he ever remembers seeing the photo. When (if) he doesn't remember, it'll be a good ribbing that follows. :)

A third coincidence is that you decided to mention a photography piece from any publication. I don't remember you ever doing that. And it just happens to be the same piece that serves as a connection between my casual acquaintance, my good friend and the only photograph Joellen and I own from the 19th century (1853). Considering the teensy weensy size of our collection -- only about a dozen photos, surely not more than 20 -- this series of coincidences is really remarkable.
