"Do You Feel Lucky?"

That is perhaps the most misquoted line from a movie. In Dirt Harry, Clint Eastwood's character actually said, "You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"

I really don't care for gambling. I'm usually an unlucky person. In fact, 13 is my lucky number.

But a funny thing happened when I was in Vegas. I was passing by this slot machine and saw there were a few credits in it. So I played it for a bit, and won 50 cents. Woohoo! Take THAT to the bank!

But being the saint that I am, I decided to leave the ticket on the machine, thinking that maybe someone would return. Well, time passed and no one showed up, so I started playing that machine again. I ended up winning $20.

Talk about luck. Now if there could only be more defective slot machines . . . :)

Speaking of luck, my business hasn't officially opened yet, nor have I done any serious marketing. Somehow, I have customers already calling in. They said they found me on the Internet. Cool.

I got one customer with an order. But just when I thought I had taken care of everything, I realized I didn't get a Seller's Permit to pay sales tax in California. DOH!!!

I'm usually thorough, but for some reason, that slipped through the cracks; I was either misunderstood or someone misinformed me. Luckily, I was able to get the permit on the same day I applied. Whew!

Luck has been my friend. Thanks, Luck!

The Double Whammy On A Stick Kick

Brotherhood of the Wolf, a little known French movie also titled Le Pacte Des Loupes. A monster terrorizing villages, colonial France, martial arts action. How strange of a combination is that? It's a definite must-see.
