Immediately after my transfer, BeBop drove me to my acupuncturist. While I was being stuck with needles and trying to relax, he decided to go into the little downtown area and find something fun to do.
For some reason, he went into a New Age bookstore. (PS In Northern Calif. these are found on almost every corner!)
For some other reason, he decided to get a quick psychic reading from a tarot card reader who was there.
She didn’t ask him any questions, he just sat down at her table and introduced himself. After she put the first card on the table, she exclaimed, "Is your wife pregnant?" BeBop didn’t really say anything. He just sort of sat there and stared at her.
"Wow," she continued, "I think your wife is pregnant right now."
BeBop told me he didn’t say much in response. He was pretty shocked, to put it mildly.
The psychic went on to read more cards, mostly about his career path and blahdy blah blah.
And at the end of the reading, as she put the very last card on the table, she said one again, "I really think your wife is going to be pregnant VERY SOON."
And it appears that she was right.
Beta = 157
