All kidding aside, he&#8217;s probably just a really nice guy who likes doing good deeds for random strangers. Of course, we have to kick back the other 60% to him, but that&#8217;s just normal banking procedure. He promises that this transfer is risk-free, which we find highly reassuring.<\/p>\n<p>If that is not enough good fortune for one week, it turns out that we have also won the &#8220;Spanish Lucky Day Lottery Internet Program&#8221; with a prize of 550,000 Euros.\u00a0 We were unaware that we had even bought a Spanish lottery ticket, but it doesn&#8217;t seem polite to argue with them about it.\u00a0 In the fine print of the e-mail notifying us of our win, we were happy to learn that: &#8220;The Free Lotto Awards is organized by consortium firm companies to encourage the use of the internet and promote computer literacy worldwide.&#8221; Supporting a good cause and then winning tons of euro-cash?&#8211;that&#8217;s our kind of karma!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to various other e-mails we received this week, we have also been able to secure some very good deals on medications (which will remain nameless, but let&#8217;s just say that soon after our package arrives, we will be getting pretty good at throwing a football through a tire swing).<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate all our amazing good luck, this Friday evening, starting at around 9 PM, our Worthless Son-in-Law selves will be playing the <a href=\"http:\/\/newriverwinery.com\/\">New River Winery<\/a> in Lansing, NC. \u00a0You can stop by after enjoying the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.explorelansingnc.com\/greater-la-fest.html\">Greater LA Festival<\/a>. \u00a0There will be a $5 cover charge, which we may or may not donate to an organization promoting the use of the internet. We&#8217;re guessing there will be wine available for purchase.<\/p>\n<p>We hope to see you there.<\/p>\n<p>Your pals,<br \/>\nThe Worthless Son-in-Laws<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Friends, With all the doom and gloom and earthquakes and hurricanes out there these days, we thought we&#8217;d pass along a little good news.
