Although I do not put much stock in astrology, I have always thought it significant that my twin brother and I were born under the sign of Gemini. Whether or not I myself am a true believer, it remains true that my most - searched blog posts are

Gemini, A Mutable Sign
Apparently, astrology rules!
Years ago, traveling in England as graduate students, my friend Kathryn and I took the train from Oxford to Leeds. At Birmingham, a woman took the seat across from us and immediately asked if I was a Gemini. I answered yes and realized that she had noticed the small, pewter Gemini charm hanging on a chain around my neck. She then pulled a huge Gemini pendant from under her sweater and was doubly surprised when Kathryn revealed her Gemini identity also. When Kathryn and I first met and tallied up our many common interests and characteristics, one of our favorites was the coincidence that we were both Gemini.
The most fabulous part of meeting the traveler with the Gemini pendant was when we shared our names. Our newfound Gemini friend introduced herself as "Kathryn," nick - named "Kitty." (Unless she just said that!) As if this wasn't quite enough of a coincidence for one day, when Kitty got off at Derby, the man who took her place was named "Bruce" -- the name of my twin brother!
