How Many Before It's Not Coincidence?

I meant to write about this last night, but I got in bed and decided I was more comfortable that I expected to be. Also, coming off the terrible night of sleep that I had Sunday night, I was ready to close my eyes when I walked in the door from work.

Yesterday morning I missed the 7:10 train and was waiting on the platform for the 7:22. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a woman in a short skirt and small top. She initially caught my attention because it was 55 degrees outside and she was dressed like it was 80. As she got closer I realized that she and I went to grade school together.

On the way home, I took an earlier train because I needed to get home to let my dog out. As I got off the train, a man about 4 people ahead of me turned half way around, just enough so I could make out his profile. I realized he, too, went to grade school with me.

After my dad came home from work, the two of us went to the gym together. We have not been to the gym in 2 or 3 weeks now. At the traffic light before the gym someone turned in front of us. This person also went to grade school with me, but not the same one that the first two did. This person went to a school I only attended until 5th grade. I don't think I have seen him since, meaning this was the first time I have seen him in over 12 years.

Then, to top it all off, on a film site that I read they keep a list of the most recent stories commented on. Sure enough, the commenter was someone else that I went to grade school with and have not spoken to in over seven years.

I have no idea how to explain that.
