Connections

Say I must tell this story because of the connections we have and the influences we have on each other.

The other day I was driving home from Nanny's place in Lacombe and of course I was listening to my IPOD. I am really into some of the older music of Cher now, I find the lyrics to have a lot of meaning. I listened to "Walking in Memphis", and "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves" over and over on the way home. The music is very evocative and good to listen to. Also, on the way to Lacombe Zac and I listened to a bunch of Cher's songs.

Well, over the last little while Zac has watched every X-Files episode ever made, and of course one of the episodes was called "The Post-Modern Prometheus". This is an amazing episode about a victim of genetic experimentation (the main character's nickname is "The Great Mutato"), and tells the story of how he realizes his dream of dancing with Cher in a nightclub while she is singing. This incidentally is one of Rob's favorite episodes too. Thank-you Zac for watching this episode with me, and thank-you Rob for discussing this episode with us. Through you two I have discovered an amazing episode, and also re-discovered some awesome music by Cher.

It goes to show how we influence and teach each other, and how interconnected we all are.
