Not only was my future more uncertain than ever, but now I had semi-prophetic messages telling me not to worry. I had to deal with the possibility that someone somewhere was able to see into my future, then write these little messages, and — despite the odds — get it to me in a little bad tasting cookie that was given to me at a Chinese restaurant.

This was the first time I went to a casino buffet in Detroit (my [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=brokenfingers.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1946776&amp;post=17&amp;subd=brokenfingers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
