What a coincidence

This afternoon I was working on a new course, trying to brainstorm as to what it should cover, and thinking about a textbook. There was one book in particular I kept going back to because I had an older edition on my shelf. I went to Amazon.com to see if there was a newer edition yet and how much it would cost students. I decided at least tentatively that this would be the book to use, put the citation in the working syllabus, and went out to ask our office professional about getting a teacher copy.

I grabbed my mail that had been delivered today and, while chatting with our office professional, opened a package. It was the brand new edition of the book I had just been looking for. Freaky!
