So here I am, watching Las Vegas and just kicking it, reading the morning's news and getting ready to get down to business, when the cable goes out.  It's windy here and this is not exactly an unusual occurrence - nowhere near unusual enough, anyway.  So I figure, "Ah well, at least I have high-speed access now; I'll just turn on the Internet radio and chill for a bit until it comes back on..."

You get where this is going, right?

No, I won't just turn on the Internet radio because I have a cable modem!!!  Luckily - and this is really why I kept it - I still have dial-up.  I called them the other night to find out about keeping my e-mail account once I cancel the services and started to have it shut off then, but since I was trying to set up this home network, I decided I would wait a week or two just in case I accidentally fouled everything up or something.  Call it Fate or Divine Intervention, or even Serendipity - I mean, the way I see it, does it really need a name?  Whatever you call it, however you define it, I'm just very lucky right now...

Speaking of which, before I even finished this, the cable came back on!  Rock right the hell on!  What will I do with all this luck?

I figure I'll buy a lottery ticket and hit the shake junt.  I could use an entire six-pack of pussy right about now.
