The strange small things in life

The world is a funny place. A few days ago, for the first time in two decades, it occurred to me to try to recollect what my kindergarten teacher’s name was. I hadn’t thought about it in nearly twenty years and at first I thought oh I’ll never remember, then after a few minutes it finally came back that her name was Koenig.

This evening I get an email from a woman who was expressing appreciation for a website of mine. Her name? Koenig. Not since my kindergarten teacher have I had any dealings with a person named Koenig.

    One of our volunteers, her last name is Koenig. She was in our office today, after not seeing her for most of the summer. Is it something in the air?

    One of my kindergarten teachers was named Mrs. Promenitz. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone else with that name. Maybe the universe will have a good laugh and send one my way in the next few days.

    I have never met anyone named Promenitz. If I do, I’ll let you know. But they’ll have to show up soon, like tomorrow, otherwise I’m going to forget the name. And if they do show up tomorrow, that will make for some story. Except not. Unless they’re standing there with an envelope labeled “Clue”. And still I don’t think I’ll have one even after they hand off the envelope and run merrily along.
