The Thursday Threesome

::Serendipity: Making fortunate discoveries by accident::
Onesome: Serendipity:-- Do you believe in destiny? Yes, I most definitely do. And as the definition states, it always happens when least expected!

Twosome: Making fortunate discoveries-- What is your greatest "find"? Is it an antique you discovered tucked away at a garage sale? Or maybe something as simple as the great sale on khakis or lawn mowers at your favorite store? It was the purchase of one our cars. We received a super low interest rate before it was the popular thing to do. We had no idea the option was available until the salesperson informed us of our good fortune!

Threesome: by accident-- Have you ever discovered a place entirely by accident and it's become a favourite place to go now? A hidden grove in the city park, a wonderful little coffee shop or restaurant, a treasure trove of a shop? We discovered this fantastic dim sum bakery where they make the dim sum for the most popular restaurants in China Town. It's so small and dinky that there's no place to sit and eat. It's totally take out, no ifs, ands or buts! But they have the best dim sum and egg rolls and it's well worth the trip and wait.





Random Questions; Random Days...

"Imagination is more important than knowledge." ~ Albert Einstein Please comment. That's a hard one because I think sometimes a little knowledge can spur the imagination. I have no doubt that imagination is very important and this strikes a chord with me, because I worry that today's youth are losing theirs.

So much of their 'play' is already programmed, choreographed, and the game play and ending determined. Too few children play with Lego's or Lincoln Logs and build things from their imaginations. Everything must be in color with cool graphics and special effects. The early video games required some imagination: the planes in Asteroids were triangle shaped and didn't look anything like the real thing. The terrain was dots - imperfect, pixelated ones at that! It didn't look like a real sky but in the mind's eye of a child, they were in space fighting evil aliens/space invaders.
