66

For today, let me share with you this one pic and the quick story of "66".

Yesterday, Lily and I were graciously offered a pair of tickets to the USC Football game vs Nevada, of which we happily accepted!

Getting to the Coliseum is always an adventure. So, we took my friend's advice and parked further away, then taking the Metro the rest of the way into the stadium.

Once parked, Lily and I were walking to the metro station when I saw Lily bend down and pick something off the ground. She immediately turns to me and says "Did you drop your money?"

I say "No".

Then she gets paranoid and checks to see that it's not her money that fell out of her purse. It wasn't...

Realizing that this was "found money", we just stood there for a few minutes waiting for the previous owner to show. But no one ever did.

As the clock ticked nearer towards game time, we had no choice but to leave.

And I guess this is the difference between Lily and I: I would have definitely counted the money right then and there! But she interestingly never did. I guess I'm way more Chinese than she is... 🤪

We arrive to the stadium on time to watch the Trojans secure a convincing victory. But like so many jaded Angelenos, we left midway into the 4th quarter to beat the traffic, totally unaware of the final score.

Once home, I flipped on Sportscenter to catch the highlights and final score of the game.

Then I ask Lily, "Hey, did you count the money yet?" And she says "Oh yeah, I forgot!" So she pulls it out the wad from her back pocket. And in an excruciatingly slow manner, she counts the money, and then counts it again.

"66 dollars" she exclaims.

I immediately hit the floor!!! 66 bucks is already a large number, but now I'm "roll on the floor" laughing!!!

"What is so funny?" Lily asks.

"Do you know how many points USC scored today?"

She indicated that she didn't.

"USC scored exactly 66 points in the game today! Just like the exact amount (66 dollars) you picked up on the way to the game!!! Is that not crazy?" 💵🤯

And that's my story... #66
