Three of 'Em

I'm declaring this past week the "Week of Coincidences." First, there was [the coincidence I mentioned earlier](https://thedailyeudemon.com/36181/) (regarding the Berry quote). And then these two:

1\. [On February 22nd, I blogged about the apparent virtues of essential oils](https://thedailyeudemon.com/36045/). A week ago last Friday, I felt a little tickle in my throat and started whacking the essential oils hard, especially "Four Thieves." By Tuesday, I was down with the worst illness of my adult life. I missed three days of work last week, which I've never done before (except two hiatuses for minor surgeries). The merit of essential oils took a big hit in my book this week.

2\. On Wednesday, I wrote, "a priest, now bishop, once told me over a beer \[that dualism\] is modern man's biggest intellectual plague." I actually wrote that piece Sunday morning and programmed it to appear Wednesday morning. Between Sunday and Wednesday, I received an email from a TDE reader that suggested I read a blog post about [Madison, Wisconsin, Bishop Morlino and the surge of priestly vocations](http://wdtprs.com/blog/2015/03/d-madison-bp-morlino-and-the-surge-of-priestly-vocations/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Bishop Morlino was the bishop I referenced in that post. It was many years ago (mid-1990s).
