I was in Antigua about 10 years ago, sitting beside a pool reading a book about a man whose boat sank in the middle of the Atlantic.  Another hotel guest saw the book and asked me if I sailed.  I said no.  He was an avid sailor who had just crossed the ocean himself, and convinced me to try out one of the dinghies at the resort.  I did, reluctantly, and instantly fell in love with the sport.
 
Last month I did a 4-day non-stop sailboat race (which was much more serious than I'd expected).  The night before the race started, I was at the safety meeting.  The man from Antigua walked over and sat next to me, not recognizing who I was.  I introduced myself, thanked him, and bought him a beer.
I had no idea he was even Canadian, let alone from Toronto!
 
Sailing has become as much of a passion as music - both have changed my life significantly, and it was incredible to suddenly find myself next to the one person who sent me on such a tangent.

Coincidence #2.
 
20 years ago, I worked the midnight shift at a gas station.  You meet the weirdest people, and I ended up with a stalker.  He was possibly dangerous, and I ended up having to call the police to keep him away from me and my friends.   
Anyway, I saw him at a bar one night with his girlfriend, and was shocked that a guy like him could have a beautiful blonde on his arm. She was absolutely stunning, while he was on the lower end of the appearance spectrum.  Anyway, I got over the shock and left the bar before he saw me.
 
About 5 years later, I met a girl online and we started dating.  On Date 3 or 4, we walked past my old gas station and I commented that I had once worked there.  My beautiful date stopped, her jaw dropped as she said "You're 'A$$*ole Matt'! I've heard about you!" My date was the beautiful blonde that had been on my stalker's arm.
 
And yes, she ended up being just as crazy and dangerous as him.

A couple of days ago I settled down in the studio to listen to James's guitar parts for my current project. There was suddenly a racket, one of the neighbours was using a chainsaw. Chainsaws feature in verse I was listening to the moment it started.

Back in 1983 I went to see Supertramp at the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam. During "fools overture" they were showing war clips on a large screen above the stage. The nuclear explosion on the screen synchronised almost perfectly with a huge flash of lightening and clap of thunder. Impressive lightshow!

I don't have any coincidental stories, but we  just finish watching "Ozark" (last night)on Netflix and it was very good. We were a bit disappointed that we finished watching all the available episodes.

We were sorry the season ended also. I am hoping for Season-2. All depends on the ratings. Everyone I talk to that watches it seems to like it.
