The Irony...

During lunch, for basically vague & uncertain reasons I decided to go to Albertson's. It was more of an intuition, like being drawn or guided to go there. I wandered about a bit, trying to figure out what it was I wanted to get there, why I was supposed to come, without any success. Finally decided to just leave, but stopped by the book section (one of the possible reasons) on my way out. And there it was, I saw what I was there for: The God Delusion, by Richard Dawkins. I hemmed & hawwed a bit, but decided, yep, it's a sign (with thoughts of Mike, the english gent we'd met on honeymoon in my head - "me I'm a Dawkins man meself"). And then had to smile at getting a book on atheism based on being "guided" to the store and seeing it as a "sign". Heh.

I just hope ol' Mike is doing ok back in the UK (unless he went back to the resort!) and that it *was* simple irony at work here, not some sort of cosmic-synchronistic-coincidence harbingering something bad happening, like (ahem. "god forbid") him dying. Let's not have that, shall we? God err Luck be w'ye, Mike!
