02/09 and after: still looking for the piece of paper with my records…

First things first. Blogs are not easy to keep up with. I was never a diary keeper, and I guess that I never will be. So, with that said, I have some catching up to do.

January 31^st was quite a successful day. My wife and I did some shopping in Ross and found a stunning $1 and 16 cents. Not that that’s a large sum of money. But when you’re use to finding only a few pennies and maybe a dime, anything close to a dollar is exciting. I didn’t keep accurate records, but the bulk of our money was found in one of those machines that converts change into bills. I guess that someone forgot to check the dispenser near the bottom of the machine. It dumps out things that it thinks are not coins, but most of the time what ends up in the bottom dispenser is actually money. So, when we walked by and saw it, I think that I said out loud, “Oh man!” I quickly grabbed the change. A lady was walking by, and I really believe that she thought that I was a bum, because I had gotten so excited about the money.

01/31/09: $1.16, Ross area

Last week I found only 6 cents. Not much, but every little bit counts!

01/29: 1 nickel, Schenley Plaza; 1 penny, Hillman Library.
