Masthead #40 – shooting gallery
This masthead was inspired by our Wii game. As it turns out, my Wii aim for the shooting gallery game is just as bad as my real aim.
I’m especially excited for this month, despite the fact that a lot of the time 2009 felt like a real-life shooting gallery, and Fate’s aim was a lot more accurate. But technically, the Crappiness of 2009 didn’t start until February 12th. So let’s say this whole Bad Luck Year wasn’t a year, like 2010, but a year, as in 365 days. That means we only have 11 more days left of Crap, which I am making sure to deliver, such as when I failed to notice our digital camera falling out of my grasp into the parking lot this past weekend at TwinsFest. Ho, ho – what a delightful five hours that was, feeling sick to my stomach at the thought of losing our camera and all the photos we hadn’t downloaded yet. Luckily, we live in a state where people find a digital camera, don’t automatically think, “Score!” but rather, turn the camera into the parking lot attendant and leave a note on our windshield. God bless Minnesota.
Anyway, it just so happens that February 12th is when Jason and I take our annual trip to play roulette in Wisconsin. So all I’m saying is that it would be nice for the End of the Crappy Year to segue into The Awesome Year by having me win a million dollars. That’s how it works, right?
Well, that’s how it SHOULD work. That way, the story is so much more complete.

I must have dropped my cell phone in a bar in Minneapolis on Saturday evening. When I got home and realized it was missing, I may have panicked a little bit. We checked our minute usage online and no one had used it, but I spent the evening pretty much freaking out. But, of course, some nice Minnesotan had turned it into the bartender and when I showed up on the doorstep Sunday at 11 when they opened, they handed it to me. Nice folks.
