There is a mass of humanity on this planet, and like snowflakes and zebras, no two people are alike. There are identical twins that look alike but might be different in other ways. And then, there’s the belief that somewhere, you have a doppelganger, a complete stranger who looks so much like you that you’d swear some scientist cloned your DNA. I actually saw my doppelganger one day as I was walking to class at the University of Tennessee (Go Vols!) back in 1977. I saw this guy and he saw me, and we both had the same expression on our faces as we passed each other.
Even today, forty-something years later, I wonder about this guy. Where was he from? Where is he now? Were we related? And if we are, is he rich and generous with his money? Is he a brilliant writer or more like me? I also wonder at times, usually somewhere between my 3rd and 5th beer, if there’s anyone else walking on this Earth who’s just like me.
