I Am Legend
I found six pennies over the course of yesterday and today. Pennies remind me of the slogan "Keep Truckin'". Just keep plugging along and you'll get there. The lonely pennies I kept finding earlier in the week now remind me of a book I recently purchased. I bought a book yesterday called "I Am Legend" written by Richard Matheson. Another movie adaptation has been made of the story starring Gettin' Jiggy Wit It, Will Smith. Didn't know the story was writtin in 1952. Story takes place in the 70s. We'll see how far in the future this latest movie reincarnation takes place. Just think, "I Am Legend" could've been with this guy:
Street Change: I'm going to collect all the money I find on the streets, in the parks, basically anything that's just lying on the ground. At the end of the year, I'm going to match what I've found and donate it to charity. Year One was really successful. Year Two: For every $1 I find, I'll also buy a scratch-off lottery ticket and donate a portion of the winnings (if there are any).

I'm a librarian though my license to loan was revoked. M thought it best if I did some desk time. In my spare time, I enjoy a good book, dancing, running and a fine beer.
