My magic ability

Warning – This entry is long and rambling.

Ever read any of Piers Anthony’s Xanth books? Everyone has a magic power, sometimes it’s something small, like being able to dim a candle, other times its powerful, like controlling the wind. More modern pop analogy would be the X-men, where mutations can be great or small. Anyways, whether these things really happen or not is immaterial, but for some reason I’ve found an inexplicable pattern in my life, in other words, for years I’ve been suspecting I’ve figured out one of mine, but it’s difficult to explain precisely. Also, reverting back to the Xanth books, my documenting this may result in the fates smiting my server or website. But.. might as well tempt them 🙂

One sentence summary – My presence in this world results in life altering events for those who know me, I am a catalyst for events that don’t involve me.

Note – Emily says everyone has this magic power, so .. damn. I’m still gonna document this as best I can though, even if it’s all for naught.

Found a link to this site the other day, mytopo.com. Really nice aerial photos of just about anywhere. We ordered one as a christmas gift, awesome big poster size photo with title and everything. They also make topographical maps.

Turns out the photo I ordered had an edge on one side where it went out to the ocean. I didn’t notice this when ordering and was kinda bummed about it. I dropped them a note last night and low and behold they responded and are sending me a new poster at no charge.

So suffice to say, I think they rock. Check them out, very cool, very nice quality, very nice folks.
