"Thanks for the letter/poem about the newest bout of synchronicity.^*

...Can this be translated into a financial windfall?"

My reply included:

"Money and magic usually don't mix, but you never know."

That night I was watching the movie Rough Magic,

Which I had started the night before.

Two men and a woman were sitting at a table

And the following dialogue occurred...

One man says to the other:

"I have a certain proposition I'd like to discuss with her concerning magic and profit."

The woman responds:

"Two very interesting words, but not always wise to use them in the same sentence."
