Okay, nobody got jazzed about the DeLorean. Ah well! The connections just kept coming though, so I can't resist. It goes back to cylon & my having the Huey Lewis & the News coincidence. On Friday I was driving around and stopped at a store where there was a customer who looked so much like Taylor Hicks (American Idol winner) that I kept looking at him. (I'm familiar with TH because a friend is a Big Fan.) I looked at him so much that he started looking at me, but really he looked a LOT like Taylor Hicks. Then I got in the car, and a little bit later on the radio they were promoting "A Capitol Fourth" with Huey Lewis and Taylor Hicks. Har!

The next day I was listening to some sports talk show and at some point a caller mentioned the Dolphins. The talk show host started going on and on, "How did we get a Dolphins fan on here? We never talk to Dolphin fans! Dolphin fans are obnoxious! But this Dolphins fan was ok. I can't believe we let a Dolphins fan on the show!" He must've said "Dolphins" 12 times in a minute, and I was just like

That was the day I got passed by the DeLorean (the name of the car is printed big across the back so it's easy to tell). I was so surprised simply because I know it's a rare vehicle. Since Back to the Future is one of my top five favorite movies, I was immediately hearing Michael J. Fox saying, "You built a time machine?!? . . . out of a DeLorean?!?!" A few seconds later I thought, now to make this perfect, if only The Power of Love would come on the radio . . . ACK! lol -- well, I was disappointed that I didn't hear the song that day, but it was funny anyways.

I got home, and took a look at one of the magazines I had picked up that day -- a Woman's Day from 1986. It falls open to a coupon insert which has on the front "Meet the cast from Family Ties" and there's Michael J. Fox looking like he just stepped out of the time machine.

I probably wouldn't have bothered writing all this up, but then yesterday (two days later), a girlfriend called out of the blue -- this is a great friend, but we've gotten out of touch and only talk probably two or three times a year -- and she's the person I saw Back to the Future with in the theater the first time.

You guys, everything is connected, and it just flows.
