March 20, 2025: The Lucky Lady

Jessica is the luckiest person I know.

This past Christmas, my company threw a holiday party. There were about 250 people there, eating a fancy dinner at a fancy lodge.

As we walked in, Jess leaned over and said, “Let’s sit near the front, so when I win the door prize, I won’t have to walk far.” Excuse me? She was only halfway kidding.

And sure enough, she won. Unreal.

That's not a fluke, either. I’ve seen it happen again and again. She’ll probably sweep our family March Madness bracket.

Tonight, we ended up at a restaurant where about 100 people gathered for bingo night. We weren’t even planning to play. But who triumphs in the first round and walks away with a nice trophy? Yep, that would be Jess.

I’m telling you, she’s lucky. All I’m good for is carrying out her loot.
