TOD - three years ago, I had a real streak, all in the course of about 5 weeks:
--At our library's annual Staff Day, I won anything I wanted from the Recorded Books, Inc. catalog (David McCullough's John Adams on CD),
--At a professional gathering, I won a day planner, and,
--At a holiday dinner that my mom's financial planner threw for his clients, I won the ceramic snowman that was our table's centerpiece.
I should have bought a lottery ticket then!
