Is it symbolic?

My alarm clock has gone completely crazy. A few weeks ago it went off at 2:15 AM. Then last week it rang on time, but I couldn't turn it off. Another time it kept on doing "snooze alarm" after being turned off; I finally had to unplug it and remove its backup battery. Yesterday it failed to go off at all - fortunately it was a clear sunny day and that woke me up only 20 minutes late. I think my clock is ready to go into retirement with me. Do you think its an omen?

Our boat flies two burgees - small triangular flags that announce our club affiliations. One is for Navy Sailing, the other is for a cruising association that Dan has achieved senior status in. Yesterday their cord broke, the Navy burgee is tangled in the rigging, the cruising flag fell to the deck. Dan claims that Navy and SSCA parted ways. The symbolism is that Navy sailing would only apply if we stayed here in Annapolis, SSCA really applies if we're sailing around to new places and exploring. Hmmm.

We're still on a "high" of excitement about Dan's medical news.

So are we! Interesting about your alarm clock and the "signs" you seem to be getting. Totally cool!

And here's another sign: the predictions are for this winter to be snowier than normal in the NE. And we'll miss it!

But, yes, it is interesting how its all falling into place. But I'm hypersensitized now, EVERYTHING seems to be a sign!
