[Perfect Stu]

Killer, that story about your mother is creepily similar to that of my grandmothers...

She was going to come to Canada from Ireland where she grew up...they had their boat tickets ready and everything. When they got to the boat, everyone was informed that they had sold too many tickets...some people were going to have to stay, and go the next available time. My grandmother was one of maybe 2-5% of the group to stay behind.

That boat sank, and there were no survivors.

And years later, my father was born...etc. etc. etc.
