It is unlike me to have good luck, but the sweet deal I got on my Brickyard tickets extended to other good fortunes with tickets. One of the Australians, Mark, transferred a ticket into my name that gives me a free round-trip flight to anywhere in the US or Canada. I'm thinking I would like to use it to fly to Anchorage, Alaska or the Yukon or North-West Territories of Canada. I've always had a dream of being that far north. (If you were wondering why he gave me the ticket its becasue US Airways gave it to him when they overbooked his flight from NY and he didn't have time to use it before returning to Oz).

The luck continued on when I was in the line at the movies that same day and a guy asked me if I wanted a ticket for the movie, and he gave it to me.

Then I see that the lottery is going to be US$190 million this week. So I'm about to buy a ticket and then learn that only US residents can claim winnings. I guess the moral of the story is, luck can't last forever.

I was walking past a bank window the other day and I noticed that they will give you an ipod if you open up a free checking account. So I did and now I await my ipod. Ive seen other backs give away things like Playstations, mobile phone and toasters.

The photo above is of Mark, Andrew and myself (and me trying not to look 10 years older than the Sydneysiders). We are up above Chicago in a ferris wheel with Jo and Lynn (but you cant see them)
