So, this is weird and strange and all coinkydental.<\/p>\n

On March 18th<\/a>, I posted a blog about Simon Prebble<\/a>. I attempted to find contact information online, but was not successful. He has no home page, and he’s not obviously reachable through any of the audio book companies that he’s worked for. I was sad, because I wanted to say Hello.<\/p>\n

Then I had a genius idea – I had all his old letters, so I could try sending a card to his old address. Yes, the address is over 10 years old, but heck, you never know, do you? So I wrote out a nice card and placed it in the mail on March 27th, a Tuesday.<\/p>\n

I kept expecting it to be returned in the mail, but it had not been returned by Friday so I was getting hopeful. Then, on Monday, April 2nd, I got an anonymous post<\/a> on my blog that just said<\/p>\n

Newton’s Cradle…it’s true<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I was ecstatic!! He got my card! He followed the link I included! He answered my Wikiality question! Sure, it was an anonymous post, but the timing, the answered question: it was obviously<\/strong> him.<\/p>\n

You might imagine my disappointment\/confusion\/puzzlement then, when on April 4th I received my letter, returned in the mail.
