Coincidences Connected

My life always seems to be a series of interesting coincidences. Today I went to the Ethical Society to see Dale McGowan speak from his recent book, "Raising Freethinkers," lower case "f" as he says. His words were right on target as I strive to raise kids who are critical thinkers.
As I am looking at the program, I notice that they will be screening The Soloist on Tuesday, October 6th at 6:30 p.m. at The Ethical Society. A discussion featuring Adam Crane, the pr person at the Los Angeles Symphony who helped make the connection between Nathaniel Ayers and Steve Lopez will follow. Crane is from St. Louis and is now back running communications for the Saint Louis Symphony. (Open to all, rsvp to 314/773-1399 co sponsored by Mental Health America of Eastern Missouri.)
My mother-in-law and I were just talking about Crane's St. Louis connection and now we will have an opportunity to meet him in person after seeing such an influential film. Ironically, he is in the job that my good friend Jeff Trammel had prior to going to a new position that I helped to create when I did the rebranding of the Spirit of St. Louis Marathon and Family Fitness Weekend into GO! St. Louis... it is all about the C's, connections and coincidence. It's there every time if you keep your eyes open!
