Temp: 21 degrees
Did I speak too soon? It's supposed to rain today...
Nope, it was overcast all day, but no rain. I was just vegging after work, playing online poker, when Carole says "Whoah, checkout what's in the back yard!" I look over, and it's a little kid! There's a 3 year old kid in our back yard! WTF? Carole opens the screen door, and the kid just runs in - doesn't say a word, but tries to open the basement door... I go out front and see a lady - I say "Anybody lose a kid?" She replies "yeah...", totally emotionless. I say "well, he's in our back yard", and I turn back toward the house, where Carole's bringing him towards the front door. The lady takes the kid by the hand and walks away - no scolding, no "you had me so worried!" and not even a "thank you" to us... very strange... very surreal.
Anyway, I went back to the poker, and within 20 minutes, won $72 - maybe that kid was a good luck omen??? For once, I actually quit while I was ahead... VERY ahead. I wonder how long I'll be able to hold on to it...
