Eerie Week or Mere Coincidence?

It has been an eerie week. Appropriate for Hallowe'en I suppose. You be the judge - has my life been mere coincidence?

Sunday night I was channel surfing. Click, click, click...then bang - an Irish accent and a tiger. I had missed the first two minutes, but found - quite by accident - the broadcast debut of Broken Tail's Last Journey. This is a documentary that I have been hearing about off and on for 18 months as it was being produced. I had no idea it had been finished and was airing. Mere coincidence I said.

Then Wednesday night - channel surfing again - I see a familiar face under which was the title Andrew Lambert. It was a documentary about Captain Bligh. Andrew was one of the on-camera subject matter experts. Yep, that is the same Andrew Lambert I wrote about earlier this week - Laughton Professor of Naval History. I watched the program.

Got home last night and was greeted at the door with - "Robert Bateman's in town on Saturday at a gallery up the street." That is the same Robert Bateman I'll be traveling with in two weeks: renowned wildlife artist and environmental activist. He is in my home town on Saturday! Yes, I'm going to drop by and introduce myself. We've only spoken on the phone.

Later that evening - I was channel surfing yet again...and who popped up one more time on a completely different program - Andrew Lambert. As the on-camera guru he was drawing parallels between an ancient seige weapon and a tank from WWI.

Mere coincidence? Methinks not - this has been an eerie week!
