ON THE BACK BURNER

I am attending a class at the Chabad here in Venice and I am meeting such interesting people. Tonight ,I played Jewish geography with a woman and found a link to New Orleans. I heard her story about Katrina and I told her the sad happening to my family. Then,and this is corny sounding, but I was in this class for a reason. You know how there are no coincidences.. this woman said that she wouldn’t be able to continue in the class because just this evening, she realized that she was having a problem seeing at night and felt confused driving in the dark.It turns out that she doesn’t live far from me and I made arrangements to pick her up for the rest of the class.  That made me feel good that I could help her. Then  I met a woman who is my FaceBook friend and I didn’t even know it. We have a mutual friend who belongs to the JCV. She lives in my development. what a small world.Then , for icing on the evening, a guy sitting a seat away from me introduced himself and I found out that he worked in the embassy in Vienna. How cool is that. And yes, the class was good.
