Fingers Crossed
I don't ask for much. Only your undying love, readership and comments when you feel moved to make them. But today I want something from you. Luck.
I promise that I'm not holding onto what I think is a lucky lottery ticket. And I don't have a test. I'm not going to get a potential brain tumor checked out. I need to perform no feats of strength or mental acuity. Beth and the kids are fine and healthy and happy though probably somewhat tired of having an uptight husband/dad.
I'm not ready to share what's going on so you'll just have to trust me. But send me some good luck whenever you happen to read this, okay?

Posted by: Mr Lady at April 20, 2010 12:47 PMWell, not sure how much luck I have, what with first getting the flu, then a sinus infection, and now a blocked salivary gland (WTF?) all in one month, but what little luck I have I'll send your way!
Posted by: Randi at April 20, 2010 12:54 PMGood luck! Wait, we haven't checked the lottery ticket from the weekend. We could be millionaires right now and not even know it.
Posted by: Kevin Spencer at April 20, 2010 1:11 PM/* Script to send Chris luck */
// Create luck variable
Luck l_goodluck
// Create the luck
l_goodluck = CREATE luck
// Max out the luck
l_goodluck = f_SetMaxLuck( l_goodluck )
// Send the luck
result = f_sendLuck( l_goodluck, Chris )
// Check the result
If result = FAIL then
print "Sorry dude. Better luck next time"
Else
print "YAY! Glad it worked out!"
End If
Can you tell I'm up to my noggin in code? ;)
Hope it works out.
Austin
