  • My Lucky Break

    My Lucky Break

    My lucky break that I missed and didn’t take. It could have been just my imagination, nothing of consequence to anybody but me. It may have been nothing of consequence, but I’m going to tell you about it anyway. One of my day jobs was working as a sales associate in the Metropolitan Museum of…
