coincidences

I hope that the title of this post doesn't trick you; I only have one coincidence about which to blog. Today as I was walking out of the bank, I walked into a fella I know named Andrew. I said "Hey" and went on my way. On my bike trip home from the bank, I next encountered a guy in my fraternity named Peter. Again, we exchanged greetings and proceeded on. Next, I arrived at home, only to be welcomed by my roommate Sara. Coincidence? Certainly, after you consider that my three siblings are named Andy, Peter, and Sarah. As an aspiring actuary, I have calculated the odds of this happening, and they are 1 in 231893254.

I guess that I can think of another coincidence. I have had the song "Count It Higher" by Chris and the Alphabeats stuck in my head for the last two days after watching this video four times in a row. I also calculated the odds of this coincidence, and they are "pretty good." For your enjoyment, here is the video. For best results, watch only three times in a row.

Davey, you are so charmingly amusing! Why in the world were you watching that music video?

What are the odds that I will never visit this blog again after being subjected to that video?

"excellent"

The "charmingly amusing" dude was watching the video because his girlfriend showed it to him on YouTube!

I was startled and amazed to realize we had exactly 123 customers at my library on both Monday and Tuesday! I love having exciting coincidences like that in my life!

I am starting to lose my enthusiasm once again for checking your blog every day...
