People of Color

I knew that would get your attention and/or the attention of any flak, PHD or member of an organization that has 4 letters for a name or an acronym that they think is clever...

...but, see here, we are in a different mode, and it is the bad behavior of the reader that gives the negative vibes in the above title. We are, in fact, talking probability and chance.

It seems, a few days back, I had the pleasure of meeting one Sebastian White. An ordinary chap, he is looking for an ordinary home in an ordinary part of the world. What would be the chances that a home of interest to Mr. White would have an absentee landlord, and the tenant living in that home would be -- get this -- Sebastian GREY!!! Add to this my meeting up with a wonderful family, the Brown Family; a member of said family is their ever active son Sebastian (yes Brown).

I postulate to you now, readers of innocent and illicit thoughts, what are the odds of meeting THREE Sebastians with names popped out a box of Crayola?

I think there is a sign here. Perhaps I should look for homes on a Sebastian Street somewhere, or maybe there is a horse running somewhere with the likes of Sebastian's Drive in its program sheet. Or maybe it is just dumb chance -- nothing cosmic. Whatever, it does make you think, it is a good Day for a Daydream especially if you believe in magic -- wait! those are John Sebastian songs...

Something from the Boston "Globe"

Just to let you know how much EVERYONE is feeling the pain...

"BOSTON – A real estate agent says a resident of Boston's upscale Back Bay section plunked down $300,000 to own what is believed to be the priciest parking space in the city's history.

"The winning bidder was not identified. The Globe reported that the seller of the parking the space is also trying to sell a two-bedroom suite in the building for $2.5 million."
