Here’s a piece I wrote to a “Serendipity” prompt back in August 2018 …

Love your ‘Auspiciously’ poem, dear Ivor! Excellent video, too. 🥰
Serendipity is a fabulous word! Honestly, I’m not sure which came first in my mind …. the song or the story. I just knew I had to use it. 😎

Way back, in my school days, when I failed English, I didn’t the meaning of ‘serendipity’, and I am still a bit vague about it …

I love it when our summer stock theaters put this on, although I haven’t seen it since before the pandemic.

The Weston Playhouse is my favorite. They do a cabaret afterwards that is lots of fun, and a dinner theater. They get lots of good names too. Christopher Lloyd’s brother lives in the town, so he makes the occasional appearance; he was great as the narrator in Our Town.
The Dorset Theater is also really fun, always has a good mystery play each season, and The Flynn also offers up a musical now and then.
