Stimulated

Mo and I woke up to the pleasant surprise this morning of more money in our bank account. Yes, we had been stimulated, as part of the $152 billion stimulus plan passed in Congress last February. And, try as we might, despite knowing deep down inside that this is a terrible idea, thinking about how many teacher pinkslips could have been avoided with that $152 bill or how prison overcrowding could have been reduced, or how this money is meant to fuel the consumerism that our country is already hopelessly addicted to, we couldn't help but be pretty happy with the money.

It turns out that about $600 each is enough to buy us off after all. :)

Thanks, W.!
