I Should Be So Lucky

Not winning the lottery

I didn’t win the lottery this week. You can probably tell that from the fact that I am continuing to write this blog. I’d like to think that I would have kept writing it anyway, as a sign of my professionalism or perhaps in order to use it to tell you about the villa in Tuscany that I had just purchased with my winnings. But, come to think of it, maybe going on with the blog would suggest that I hadn’t won enough money to be able to simply reimburse all my paid subscribers for quitting on them. So, it’d have been a tricky decision. But luckily it’s one I don’t have to make, as I didn’t win, again. But I’m confident that it’s only a matter of time.
