just his luck.
while ringing up my groceries at a self-checkout machine
another register finally opened up
a friendly store employee waved over
the gentleman who had been waiting behind me in line
directing him to the machine
but at the last second
he balked
saying that he wanted to wait for register #2
to become open
as that was his lucky register.
he turned with his cart
went back in line
and waited.

once again
i have questions.
why does he feel that one is lucky?
is he thinking that he is in a casino?
what kind of luck can one have at a check out register?
did he get cash back, a deal, freebies, extra coupons, better bags, spend less?
why don’t i have a lucky register?

confidence?
that moment when you see your pilot
looking a bit world weary
after taking a spin
on the last chance
wheel of fortune
before boarding the plane.

i didn’t even know I was waiting
or that it was coming
but clearly they did
and we are celebrating.

tiki.
lucky way to spend an afternoon
having a bookclub meeting with no book
in a tiki bar/restaurant
so many things to see and try
and of course
the ever popular
‘steak ala steak’ and ‘fun noodles’
were options on the bingo card menu
what’s not to love?
“if you are lucky enough to be at the TIKI bar you are lucky enough.”

decisions.
grandies j & b make tough decisions.
in the end
it was
the magic collapsable cup and the fairies
that won them over.
both are helpful in emergencies
and
you never know when you will need them.
brilliant choices.
