Pondering the Obvious

Can't buy me love

I've been thinking a lot about sudden windfalls of cash. Since I am considered a lucky person, Punky wants me to buy lottery tickets whenever the amount is high enough. I refuse.

This morning, a cash donation was announced to the congregation. Instead of thinking of the amazing programming we could accomplish with this money, I assumed it would go for mortgages, and continued day-dreaming about someone leaving me a tidy sum of money (or winning $300 million without buying a ticket).

I would start with the obvious of paying my debt, my student loans, Punky's education. Buy a new house, rent a villa in Arizona for the rents, take my sister to Europe, get Jaxon into Madison. Be an artist for the rest of my life.

These are nice, comforting thoughts, but I am not a fan of the "free" handout. If I don't work hard on something, it is probably too flimsy to stand the test of time. On the other hand, I probably should be writing to our well-off relatives...

By the way, my creative baby, the directory, is finally out there in the universe, being loved by most. It is littered with mistakes, which I accepted would happen before I started it.

Besides, it's better than good, it's done!

As long as we somehow make it to Greece, your plan sounds good.

Mistakes? I should have probably said something about the roster being a fluid, perpetually incorrect entity and that mistakes would be reflected in the newsletter somehow. I don't know how I could have proofed it better without adding several months...
