Patterns in the Thread


Sometimes the universe just leaps put and yells at you. This year is the year of twin associations. I'm sure you notice more twins when you have them yourself (god bless the little gems) but I really do seem to be finding its happening more than the norm.

Today was the latest example when I ran into a bloke I finished the Kepler Challenge with a few years back- used to bowl fast for the Black Caps, Geoff Allott. Turns out he's got twin lads now too. Add that to the three immediate workmates, 4 close friends, and an armada of folk who we've met this year who are twins, or have them (or triplets!) and it suddenly seems theres twins everywhere.
At the Project Management Conference in the Jaffabowl last week I inadvertently sat next to another dad of twins. Then by chance a dad of triplets(!) joined our "Multiple Birth Club" table. Now thats beyond a fluke surely?

Our current mission is to work out once and for all if they lads are identical. The literature is conflicting, but its going to be worth finding out, if not just for future health issues then our current mental stability!
