I also have a husband who travels and is an expert bullshitter. Call me cynical, but I’m not buying a word of it.
Of course, I don’t have a sentimental bone in my body.

Yeah, no. Couldn’t he have just taken a photo of it or just told you about it?

I think he made it up. But that was sweet to do. Or else the street-seller is actually a sneaky entrepreneur who googled Dave when he entered the restaurant and quickly put the picture together for a guaranteed sale.

That is super cool! Some people say there is no such thing as coincidence. Not sure how I feel about that.

And I don’t know if it can be attributed to selective perception, but it seems that signs like this (like with the movie of the same name) are all around us. Sometimes it freaks me out and makes me wonder if we really ARE in The Matrix.

LOL, that *is* quite butt ugl-er, not exactly my taste either.

Clearly, he had to haul it home.

Even though he probably had it made at the silk-screening shop at the mall down the road. In ten years, he’ll let you in on the prank.

But in the meantime, what kind of words beneath your names did he pay the nice 17-year-old with piercings there at “Screenings Is Us” to put on the paper?

Much like Jane said, I don’t believe in coincidences either. I believe all happens for a reason and I think she’s very wise to suggest you to have a good listen for it to speak to you. If on the other hand, he made the whole thing up, bonk him over the head with it.

Those coincidences are always spooky.

I would have had to buy it too, in spite of the design.

I’m interested to know what it says.
