Whoever manages the distribution of cards to players has picked me for challenges the last three months in a row.  Fortuna?  Lady Luck?  Whoever you are, I’d like some different pasteboards please.

Even with bad cards though there is always good company.  Tonight two stories of women claiming victories in the here and now over debilitating disease.  Regina continues to have good energy in spite of the cancer she has and the daily blood-thinner shots she has to take.  Ed’s wife, who has lupus, went to Chicago on her own and she and Ed went out to dinner for the first time in five years.  On reflection, if that’s where Fortuna has shifted her attention, good on her.
