Looking for a Full Decl
I am Counting Cards and Thought I Was Losing….
Back in the day I was obsessed with TV series, ‘Sex and the City’ (of course, I wanted to be Carrie but really, I was…never mind, back to my story).
One episode, Carrie started dating a guy named ‘Berger’. He was a writer and interesting. The first time they were hanging out he picked up a playing card. He explained that he finds cards all around the city and “someday I am hoping to get a full deck, insert joke here.”
Since, that time I have lived in many cities, some large, some small. Traveled miles around the country, and through it all, I always kept looking for a random playing card.
Well, the day finally came early last spring, right here in Downtown Battle Creek!!!
It was a lovely Thursday afternoon and I walked over to my bank to take care of things for the weekend, yada-yada-yada-. Anywho, as I was approaching the corner, I noticed one playing card blow by!! WHAT!?!? I ran and caught it with the tip of my shoe. On one side is the 3 of Clubs. When you flip it over it is Woodstock (the bird from Snoopy) and the bird icon in sitting in a birds nest of card showing the Ace of clubs on the roof!!!!
I was (and still am) over the moon! Other cards spun past my in the wind but this card is meant to mine, the others didn’t matter. I went into the bank and rambled my story as the teller politely listened and took care of me.
I think this card is some kind of good luck sign…Sweet Woodstock, the Clubs? I know, three is not the best number, but pikey can a girl be? With that, I will take it. To this day it hangs on desk and maybe someday I will find enough for a full deck…duh of course, insert joke here.
