Coincidence?

So, the other day I'm talking to Jacque.... she tells me about how Raw Honey can help with allergies. I'm thinking Kathy has trouble with allergies, so, I go on a hunt to find raw honey in Fullerton (not an easy job). After several calls I find a guy who has a local bee hive and he, somewhat suspiciously, agrees to bring some to us. Somewhere in all this I'm talking to Nikki.... telling her I've been in a foul mood because of a homeowners insurance inspection that caused me to dispose of lots of wood laying around the house (I was NOT in a holiday spirit). Nikki said maybe we should go to a Holiday Play or something. Then my neighbor (woodworker guy, Don) asked me to take care of his dogs, Murphy & Lucky, for the second time in three weeks.
So, the guy with the honey shows up - he's very nice - gives us some honey - and suggests that we go see his daughter in the The Nutcracker, playing Saturday night at Fullerton College Theater. This is a local ballet school performing in conjunction with Cal State Fullerton's orchestra.
Somewhere in here I decided to put up our Christmas lights, and Kathy has begun to trim our Christmas tree. I'm slowly beginning to feel a little Christmas spirit. Then after taking care of the dogs, Don sneaks into my garage and leaves gift certificates for dinners and movies (notice the purality). So, we had a delicious chinese dinner and then went to see The Nutcracker. The performance was great. Turns out the honey guy's daughter played both Snow Queen and Sugar Plum Fairy - and she was spectacular. Even though she attends Cal State Fullerton, she has been to New York and Boston (to name a few) to study ballet. Now it's Sunday morning and thanks to Jacque and Nikki and a little coincidence - It's Beginning to Feel a Bit Like Christmas - except that, at eleven oclock, it's already 78 degrees.
FYI, I've passed Salt Lake City (somewhere around Summit Park on I80) heading for Rapid City, SD. That's 692.8 miles (but who's counting?)
