I just received an invitation for an event that’s related to an activity that I too started doing a few months ago. That’s inspirational for several reasons.

And get this: I used to live around the corner from this person. I’ll be damned!

I was in Sun Street and this person is in Star Street.

The house I was living in was owned by a Dutch author. A mere coincidence. I had one of his books – possibly his best-known – on my reading list for Dutch literature in secondary school. (I later gave a luxury copy to someone as a graduation gift.) He was living in the States at the time.

Oh. Get this! He passed away in Sarasota. On the other side of the Sunshine Skyway from where I was in the States.

Yes, he too had emigrated to Florida.

That’s hilarious. It’s a small world.
