Thanks, Dad!

Back in my financially troubled youth, I would occasionally find money in my clothes from Dad, after a visit home. It was sweet, and needed, then; a way to communicate during particularly stormy times. Last night, during a visit to piano bar numero uno (good to see you, all!), I happened to reach into a pocket of my jacket... and found a hundred dollar bill. I mentioned this to the person I was sitting next to, with the inevitable response: "Wow, can I borrow your jacket?"

I checked all my pockets when I got home that night--nada except these words on an old fortune cookie fortune, "Your luck just changed." Harrumph!
I enjoyed meeting you and have added you to my friends list.

Very nice meeting you as well, and likewise!

That's a cute tradition :) Reminds me that I need to start implementing a plan I've had along those lines...giving ornaments with rolled-up cash inside. I thought it'd be amusing to have given someone's child a gift each year which could someday be revealed to be a stash of cash...but then, glass ornaments would be a bad idea ;)
