A Luminous Halo

"Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end." --Virginia Woolf

Mr. Larry Duke to the Rescue

I was getting a little nervous about how the bills were going to get paid this month, but not to worry. The Universe has it under control. I just received this email notification, and not a day too soon.

Of course, sadly, I won't be able to keep the BMW. I'll have to sell it and use the money for mortgage, utilities, and so on. These babies are worth between $45K and $60K...that should keep me in heat and hot water for a few months.

Here's the email (eat your hearts out, fellow cybercitizens):
