I’ve been picking up found pennies for years, I think ever since I saw Grease for the first time when I was a teenager. Generally, I don’t believe in luck, especially as something that is a necessary result of some random event like finding a penny. But, like clockwork, I pick up every penny I find. find a penny, pick it up all day long you’ll have good luck I actually found one this morning in the parking lot outside my office.

I watched The Hustler last night as I struggled to get to sleep, and was quickly reminded that it’s my favorite film of all time. The cast and the action draws me in, but the message is the thing that always leaves me willing to watch it again. Talent isn’t everything; character matters. Winners can be losers. And losers can be winners. Everyone in the film is both a winner and a loser.
