Short story. Have a colleague who has seen me perform and really enjoys my performances. The other night he wanted me to come out to a bar with his friends to do some material. He texted me and asked about meeting up. My text back said something like "do you want me to meet Terrance". I meant to say do you want me to meet THERE" But auto spell made it come out Terrance.

Well the response was "How did you know Terrance was here? You don't know Terrance?" Well, I got incredibly lucky and I played it up for everything it was worth. They are still talking about it and some have turned on each other accusing one another of spying for me.

There was a time when something like this would have bothered me because it is not repeatable. What I have learned is that with odds and statistics, etc---opportunities like this present themselves everyday and to the spectator it is just as real as something repeatable.

I say when these things happen to align perfectly, take full advantage of them. They can be minor miracles to others. It's almost like Murphy's Law in reverse, while you can't count on them there are things that do happen with some regularity when you least expect them that you can take advantage of, you just have to be able to recognize them and be able to capitalize on them.

Nice one, Greg. You can only imagine how this story will be told in years to come!

This is how "Legends" are born!
