An omen of things to come perhaps?

[SShoreFan]

At lunch today I did something I never (and I mean never) do.  I bought a Celtics $5 lottery scratch card.


and.......................




I am now $95 richer ($100 win - $5 card)
(I'm no fool, I know when to walk away)

So if I can win on one of those dumb cards -- perhaps the Celts can win on the road.

I hope your omen is better than mine.  I'm working on a big project at work, and it turns out one of the key cases is entitled Lebron v. National Railroad Passenger Corporation.  I have to deal with "Lebron" references even at work now.

I bet you'll make more than $95 on it though!!!

I just hoped you scratched it while you were on the road and not waited to scratch it at home.

I'm good for one or two scratchers a year (usually the dollar variety).  But for some reason I've been feeling the tug of one those $10 Red Sox tickets lately.  So far, so good on resisting the temptation.

They're so big and pretty though...and just think of all the good I'd be doing for the Commonwealth

I think the ugly cards payout more.   (I literally spend less than $25 a year on lottery related vices)

We just came back from a retreat and the owner of the cabin, this rich kid, bought a ticket on the way back and won $50.  Just another case of the rich getting richer!    
(gotta post the faces to show that I am kidding... hehe)

Oddly, regarding Roy's post, I'm working on a partnership freeze-out issue today and I found myself looking at the case In re Boston Celtics Limited Partnership Shareholder Litigation, 1999 WL 641902 (Del. Ch. Aug. 6, 1999), in which I learned the nauseating fact that Paul "Thanksdad" Gaston's mother's name is Paula.

I don't know what kind of an omen that is.

That's a bit odd.  I am glad my mom's not named SShoreFana.

My mom's name is Redza

Actually my grandfather went by Red (as does my parent's cat), and my daughter has red hair.  Of course none of this has anything to do with how I came up with my original name...What could it all mean?
