I got away from the beachfront several months ago , and moved to an old farmstead...
Up on the front of the property is an old house that belonged to the folk who used to work the land...It's a duplexed rental now...
Several days ago I went up front on my way out to the road , and the lady renting the place told me she was sorry they'd blocked the driveway , but they'd had a death in the family...
I told her that I was sorry for the circumstances , and not to worry , as I was still able to improvise a way out to the road...
So , before noon on Friday , a couple of my buds came to visit , and one of them says to me ,
" Shaq O'Neill is up front..."
I said , " Really ? "
And they said , " Yeah , he's got two vehicles and an entourage , and his shoes are about THIS long " , with hands held about a half-meter apart...
They'd spoken with him and the crew on their way in ; and the lady that had passed away was related to him , an Aunt or what-have-you...
Just another of many similarly odd coincidences that have occurred with strange regularity throughout my life...
Shaq , if you chance to read this , I would've loved meeting you in another context , and I'm sorry to hear how this loss affected you...
I know that it meant a lot , your taking time to be with your kin in their time of grief...
