A now for a brief Parable:
Yesterday, I stumbled upon some Jersey girl's driver's license on the curb next to our local Chinese takeout place. I was about to sell it to the sixteen year old across the street to make up for my rampant weekend expenditures, when it dawned on me that maybe my string of bad fortune needed a push in another direction. I dug out some old "GOOD LUCK" stickers I received randomly in the mail, and sent the whole package back to the address on the I.D. The Karma wheel goes round and round, my friends. Let's spread the Astorian love.
