Coincidence? Coinkidink?

We all experience

coincidences or coinkidinks...

but 3...in a week???

What the hell?

First I mention the random word 'leprosy' in a random blog... 
(It seemed like a natural progression  after...lava, lagoons, leis...leprosy.) 

Two days later..I mention my upcoming Hawaii trip to a friend

who brings up the interesting/unusual fact that years ago

Hawaiians with leprosy

were sent to a peninsula on the Hawaiian island of Moloka'i. 

What the hell?

Then right before our trip to Hawaii

my book club suggests the book

"Moloka'i"  by Alan Brennert...

about the Hawaiian island and leprosy. 

What the hell?

Again, I ask you...
coincidence?  coinkidink?

Anywhoooo......

IN 3 days...

3 leprosy references...

when it has been 3 eons

since I've thought about 'leprosy.'

Not sure what that means...

but i must say
I would NOT recommend reading "Moloka'i" on the beach in Hawaii.

(Although I would recommend reading it in Maine.) 

With each descriptive word...

I was jumping out of my skin. 

I couldn't stop checking myself for red patches.

I do NOT have thick skin...

so I don't take these coinkidinks lightly.

I'm just hoping there isn't a 4th leprosy reference...
These coinkidinks are making my skin crawl...

and make me wonder about the expression:
"there is more than one way to skin a Kat."
