At 7:47, I posted the previous post suggesting that Dave Thomas the perfect guy to play Brett Kavanaugh on Saturday Night Live. At 8:19 I received a call from my friend Shelly Goldstein. And she just posted this to Facebook…
My friend Mark Evanier insists his life is ruled by almost impossibly eerie coincidences and synchronicities. Things just happen that "fit" — things that make no logical sense. Tish tosh, you say??? Read on.
I was at dinner with a mutual friend of ours and we were discussing something Mark said. We both pulled out our phones and looked at Mark's blog — the wonderful www.newsfromme.com. The story below was the blog's newest posting. (We weren't looking for this story. It just happened to be the newest one posted.)
We looked at the photos below and then looked at the gent at the next table. He'd just come over to our table because he mistook my friend for a friend of his. When he realized his mistake, he apologized. We all laughed and he went back to his table.
So I took my phone, walked to the gent's table and showed him, Dave Thomas, the story Mark had just put on his blog — suggesting he was the perfect choice to play Brett K on SNL.
Dave laughed. We all laughed. And then I called Mark to tell him of another one of those wacky, irrational Evanier "coinky-dinks." HOW DOES HE DO IT?
p.s. If you see Dave Thomas playing this role on SNL — you'll know why.
These things happen to me. These things happen to me all the time.
