Windfall

Yesterday, fortunes smiled on me. The Geniuses at the Apple store were unable to fix my Mac, so they ended up having to give me a brand new one. I've spent countless dollars on warranties for anything over a hundred bucks and one finally paid dividends.

Later that day, my brother-in-law gave Dana and I four Diamond level tickets to the Astros game. The best thing about sitting right behind home plate: the food. Free hamburgers, hot dogs, cheesecake, ice cream, soda, peanuts, popcorn, frozen lemonade, cookies, brownies, fried chicken, and on and on. And it's amazing how they treat you down there. Even the cops are chipper. "Thank you, sir, for joining us today. Have a safe drive home."

No, thank you officer.

Now that I've cashed out my Karma account, I wonder what this week will bring.
