I'm with Teacher Terry and Alan. And will add that maybe you need to buy brighter light bulbs for the basement. As you can probably tell I'm not a big believer in signs. It annoys me when a tv show or movie lays on the foreshadowing so thick that even Helen Keller would be able to see it.

To me it's just like going down the rabbit hole of "wow! If such and such hadn't happened my life would be so different!" While true I don't think it means anything more than that life can be pretty random. Sure, my life would be completely different today (I'd still probably be living in NYC for one and on a completely different career path for another) if SO hadn't happened to walk into the pizza place where I met him at the same time that I happened to be there. But whatever. Maybe someone else would've walked through that door...
