luck was on our side

last night was st. francis' steak night and reverse draw. whenever we go to one of these type of events lee is always in the top. right before any money is given his name is drawn. again such is the case except this time he was out quite a bit earlier than usual. anyway, they have a calcutta. everyone's name is written on a board. each board is given a letter. the object of the game is to be the last name drawn, then you win the big money. because that is not enough they auction off each of these lettered boards. now the object is to buy the board your name is on and be the last person drawn. but if you are not the last name drawn you want to own the board of who ever is the last person drawn. then you win some money. so lee and i along with 4 other couples bought a board (technically, i bought in on 2 boards) and our board won. so each couple cleared $300+. yeah us. if i was to choose the board to win it was this one the other board would have only been $100+. so finally luck was on our side.
