What would you call the opposite of "The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way"?
I'd call it serundipity. And I'd define it as finding out the morning after the evening before that you missed the once in a lifetime opportunity to meet your idol, who you'd only dreamed about ever seeing in person. Yep. That's exactly what happened when I discovered over my morning coffee that Dr. David Suzuki, renowned Canadian scientist and sustainability communicator had just been in town to collect the 2006 Bradford Washburn Award at Boston's Museum of Science.
I guess that's what happens when overblog-itis sets in and real life passes you by. Oh well. Better luck next time, eh?
