Pay it Forward

Love the concept that Brad introduced me to the other night at the Mill.  We're both married, and our wives are both, we'll say tepid, when it comes to our fantasy exploits (hey, when you're talking fantasy exploits and wives are getting upset it could be worse than football, right?).  Anyway, he talked about a large fantasy windfall of his a couple years back where he won several hundred dollars and then casually mentioned that he bought his wife a nice camera with some of his winnings.  Brilliant, I thought.  Haley Joel Osment-like, even.  Better yet, Brad's wife has a picture of the day blog.  Indeed, she loves to blog and posts a picture every day that was taken with the camera he bought her.  How many years of fantasy goodness did that buy him without so much as a peep of her displeasure?  Five?  Ten?  Certainly some.  When the spell that camera cast wears out what do you think Brad will do next?  Yep, continue to pay it forward.

Brilliant.

Finally I'm happy that my wife doesn't read the blog.

Cheers,
TFAM
