Today’s the day they take it all away
Dear Kathryn,
Today’s the day they take it all away from us.
Have you ever discovered an awesome restaurant or bar right before it got shut down. Maybe it had financial problems or it just didn’t have what it took to be a successful establishment. But a month before it closed, you found out they serve the best Chicken Vindaloo you have ever had. That’s never happened to me (but I might have to get some Indian food soon, just in case), but I imagine that it would feel a lot like the end of Luck.

I don’t trust anyone, not even myself.
Dear Kathryn,
First let me say, “Thank you” to you and Natalie for inviting me to be a guest blogger on The Moth Chase. I feel quite confident that I am the least academic writer that TMC has had. I have only one degree, and while I am very proud of it, I am sometimes worried that I will get a letter that says, “Mr. Reklis, after reviewing your college transcript, we have realized that you probably just faked it for about 3 and half years and then cruised through a light load in Communications. We are going to have to take your degree away.” Anyways, I am happy that because I joined in the chorus of boos (actually not so much “boo” as, “We’re disappointed in you! You can really do better!”) in the comment section of your and Natalie’s Dexter posts, I was invited to write about Luck. Read the rest of this entry »
