RANDOMNESS BEGETS RANDOMNESS
Or: When it rains it pours

Yeah, so here's a series of occurrences that I've run into in the past 24 hours. See if you can imagine how these all happened to me within such a short span of time.

1. A man wearing a kilt opens up the door for me, at 1:30PM, remarking, "you have coffee, one always has to open the door for a man carrying coffee...

2. 8 ordained ministers invite me to dinner with a bishop.

3. I learn that the Foreign Service Officers Exam is very hard.

4. A Marine explains why I should consider enlisting (in the Marines) instead of taking a commission.

5. I discover that I can swim 500 yards in 8:30... Who knew?

6. Erasmus speaks from beyond the grave and informs me of the value of reading Cicero.

7. I discuss the absurdity of CTU using Macintosh computers (on the show '24') with four Navy Officers. They determine that, even if it happened, it wouldn't last long, because the government would ruin the reputation of Apple by association.

8. While I am smoking a pipe in the rain I get a call from the FBI.

9. I learn that there are only two companies in the whole world who can accurately value credit default swaps (CDS's)... Things that make you go Hhmmmmm.

10. I rake my lawn for the first time all year (netting a little over 42 leaves). As I stare out my window I now cannot find any grass - as it is entirely obscured by thousands of leaves - this apparently confirms the theorem which posits that Fall can only begin after one has raked one's entire lawn.

Even for me, it's been an abnormally entertaining 24 hours.
