I called Radio 8 Ball again tonight, as the 2nd to last caller, and mentioned that when you google: radio 8 ball, I'm the 8th hit. Andras checked it on the spot but didn't see what I was talking about.

Then I asked, "How radical will the changes be at work this week?"

The song was "Figure 8" (originally from Schoolhouse Rock) by Duplex (featuring Veda Hille) from the Album "Ablum"

The divination:

Me: Wow! We were just talking about the 8th hit for Radio 8 Ball and we get this song about 8! Also, it's a Schoolhouse Rock song, and I work at a school. It's about multiplication, and we've been doing that, I even specifically went over 'two eights fell on the floor, picked 'em up and they were 64'. It's by Duplex, and I live in a duplex! Thinking about the skating and the weather, I wonder if things will freeze over and not much change will actually happen. Maybe a snow day. Maybe if I skate, I will be great.

Andras: The line that pops out for me is: "If you skate upon thin ice/ You'd be wise if you thought twice/ Before you made another single move", so be careful and graceful. Plus it was first aired in 1973. Does that have any meaning for you?

Me: I was four in 1973, so that's half of eight. [after the fact: that was when we moved west to Portland from Ann Arbor]

Andras: Some inner child stuff going on.
