Subject: RE: BS: God balances the books
I too put little faith in or spend much time in thinking about astrology.

However, there is the occasional case where I wonder...

Like when I met a colleague's husband. Not only did he look like my one brother, he walked like him (I have no reason to think they are related).

Turned out their birthdays are one day apart. What?

And two bandmates of mine. Both teachers, they became good friends after they met and it was almost a year before they discovered they had the same birthday.

And later, after we were all in a contradance band, a little boy still in diapers joined us. He wanted so much to play that one of the bandmates brought him a piccolo banjo and the only time he would leave us the whole night that we played was when he would go over to his mother and get himself a cracker. Turned out his birthday is four days later than theirs. (He is now in high school and plays multiple instruments)

One of the funny moments burnt into my mind: One time both bandmates showing him something on his instrument knelt down to the little guy's height. And he knelt down too.)
