A Plate of Shrimp for Your Head

For years my friends and I have been fascinated by events in our lives that reflect the wonderment of coincidence. In fact, the more we became aware of such moments, the more often they occurred. This is probably not uncommon, as with anything relative to awareness, we are collectively only scratching the surface of the many interlaced connections between time, place, and happenstance. For us the expression "a plate of shrimp" has become synonymous with these experiences. A google search of  "a plate of shrimp" typically turns up a link to some culinary reference and occasionally to the movie Repo Man, in which the saying was coined.  Sure, if you do a little research about the probability of coincidence you will find a mathematical explanation. Even Deepak Chopra "pooh pooh's" the idea of coincidence explaining that "everything that occurs can be related to prior cause or association." So much for the mystics getting that tingly sensation of the hairs raising on the back of their necks. Regardless of the nay saying, we all can appreciate that feeling, when and if we get it. Thus the impetuous for writing this blog.
