Half a billion dollars in Lotto money. May you win it at least in your heart tonight.

Bought my mandatory lotto ticket about 3 hours ago. Had to stand in line. Very nice, very polite group of people. Some ESL speakers let me go ahead of them. The clerk was smiling and wishing everyone luck.

So I took a moment. Did some sort of Zen thing. Reached out whatever passes for my human feeling. Knew that thousands of people were buying tickets. Let myself imagine I had something in common with all of them. Maybe I didn't just imagine that.
