A winter of destruction - 3/6/2012

Not only have I has an incredibly dry winter of synchronicity, but my family and I have seemed to experience an inordinately high degree of bad luck and illness.     Starting with a scary tonsil surgery and an uncomfortable departure of a guest in our home, we seemed to be trapped in a downward spiral.  My son went back into the hospital after the surgery, broke his finger in NY, and had two back to back illnesses that put us at brink of being over the maximum absences from school.  I actually counted 56 consecutive days in the first quarter where a member of my family was sick.  Some lung attacking illness that lasted over two weeks per person! :P

My wife and I discussed the need to do something about our stretch of bad luck.  Cleanse the house, do a karma reset, good luck ritual...something!

1/11/2011 - Another Quiet Winter

I seems that this is the third year that Synchronicity has slowed to a crawl.  I have not recognized much if anything since November and the pattern is unmistakable.  Maybe it is merely a distraction of the busyness of the Holidays or just the quietness of winter.  Nonetheless, I have experienced little until today.

My wife and I were talking and I thought it would be funny to blurt out a random statement after picking her up and tossing her on the couch.  "Tune in Tokyo," I said.

She just stared at me bewildered and said, "I had never hear that phrase until last week when I was in California with my friend...We were just talking about how our husbands had never picked us up and tossed us on anything.  Shortly after that we discussed the strange phrase she used 'Tune in Tokyo.'"

It is amazing how our shared reality stretches beyond locale to expose me to experiences had hundred of miles away by my wife.  This supports theories I have been researching lately that a family unit is sort of like a communal organism experiencing life together instead of separately.  It kind of explains how it seems both my wife and son tend also to have Synchronicitous happenings.

11/25/2010 - Hero

Remember the post about the Dukes of Hazzard? Funny thing happened while watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade this morning. Ever since the night we started singing these old TV show themes, I have not been able to get The Greatest American Hero song out of my head. At least two or three times a day I break out in "Believe it or not I'm flying on air. I never thought I could be so freeeeeeee, flying away on a wing and a prayer...who could it be...believe it or not it's just me." Even the morning of the parade I was humming and singing this with my wife and son.

We got to a part of the parade when a marching band was playing behind the announcers about to cut to commercial when there is came in the background. The band was playing the song I have been singing for weeks and this morning. It was truely amazing again as I have not heard this song since I was watching the show so many years ago!

Amazing!

10/14/2010 - Dukes

My family and I were sitting down for dinner again while listening to an 80's satellite radio station from the living room.  Our son was asking about old TV shows when we were younger and we started talking about shows like "The Greatest American Hero" and "The Dukes of Hazzard."  We started laughing and singing the old catchy tunes together when out of nowhere from the radio station came Waylon Jennings "...Just'a good ole boys...never meanin' no harm..." 

I can probably tell you I had nave heard that song since I watching the Dukes of Hazzard as an eight year old!

10/4/2010 - Broken Glass

Tonight my family and I were sitting down for dinner when we heard what sounded like a large thud followed by shattering of glass.  It sounded something like something soft but heavy hitting a car window and pieces of glass went flying all over our tile.  We looked around the room and found that a rectangular glass storage container had spontaneously burst.  Each side had shot out in all directions as if something in the middle had exploded.  Out dogs were sitting on the other side of the room with us and we could find no cause like something dropping from the ceiling.

Strange eh?
Here is a picture:
