I came looking for a job and I found a friend and serendipity.
Serendipity is something every journalist needs.
The tough, but garrulous journalism scholar John Bremner of the University of Kansas told journalists in his seminars they needed to find serendipity.
Serendipity occurs when you are on your way to one thing and you discover another thing. It brings magic and the joy of the unexpected.
You could have canned and sold serendipity.
You lived it very day.
You shared it every day.
Serendipity is when you walk into a Jiffy Store and find out the clerk's entire life story and, oh, that the boss has ordered that very store to have the lowest gas prices in town. And you only wanted an Arizona green tea to bring in to work.
My first two days on the job you showed me how to work the sheriff's beat and write up the reports. And you filled me in on the people I encountered every day.
