22, sorry you're over. Please try again.Sucker. Why don't you just quit. And be a quitter? No fucking way, I'm going to play until I win. Earlier today I was in the local convenient store and suddenly the line that I was in seemed endless but for some reason the lotto line opened up. The line that has a sign above it that says, "for lotto only." I scooted over and asked the clerk how much the mega million lottery is up to, and she said 146 million dollars. I handed her a buck and said, I'll have a quick pick and then I handed her my big bottle of beer so she could ring that out too....which is entirely ok to do if you play the lotto too. So I was quite legit in my swift move from one line to another, but I probably ended up paying an extra buck for my beer. But, along with that buck, I also have a dream, The dream of what if I were to be dumb lucky enough to win 146 millions dollars. I told the girl that plucked my quick pick out the the machine, that I would pay for her schooling, buy her a new car. buy her mom a new house, and buy this store she worked in so I could pay her fifteen bucks and hour to put up with jerks like me. She looked at my ticket and said, this might be pretty good, I have three sisters and one's birthday is on the 6th of July, the other one is o the 13th of February and the other one is on the 17th of October. And I said to her, how am I going to cover 22, 27 & 19. She smiled and said, it's up to me to find a way. I couldn't chat about it any longer because there was already three people standing in line behind me and a bunch more coming through the door. I'm enjoying the beer right now and even the thought of winning that kind of money makes me feel empty inside. But, even if I should be dumb lucky enough to win such a sum, I always have the choice of not handing it in.

be sure to let us know if you do win - he, he!  My that image reminds me of our dog Setu (Nepali word for white) whom we left behind in Kathmandu! Face and look is so similar, without the Dalmatian spots!

I think you've been doing some inner work with how you think about your feelings.  You talk about your body and the feelings certain things bring to you.  That's what I'm hearing anyway.  One of the things.  Just wanted to say how unusual that is (for me) to observe a person of the male gender engaged in such.  But then, I knew you were unusual… :)

well, 27 is my number which kinda obligates me to relieve you of the feeling of empty inside should you win the 146 millions. In other words, hand it over pronto. I'll cope. 

( a discreet footnote: is there a new blog brewing by any chance? I miss reading you : )
