I love this topic - have often thought about writing a song about it. But I heard Don McLean sing a song in concert once about the same idea. What are the odds of topping that?

Take all these stories though - and then factor in the odds of your parents meeting - and of her parents meeting - and then the odds of the 4 sets of yours and hers grandparents meeting - and, well, it gets mind-boggling pretty quickly.

I commuted to college with a kid I went to high school with. He was very charming, very good looking, and the girls liked him. I wasn't terribly outgoing. The only reason we commuted together was that we had picked the same major so we were always in the same classes. He attracted the attention of one young woman and she would go to his house once a week or so - which meant that all three of us were in the car together.

One day she just started coming to my house instead. We celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary this year smile

I don't know who was more surprised - me or my buddy. I haven't seen him in 20 years but we were still friends...of course he always made sure to remind me that I owed him smile
