i don’t speak the language

Nov 15, 2012

I have no clue what the cup in the photo below says because it’s written in a language that I don’t speak — or read. The cup rests alone on the kitchen counter at the Vegas house and is the catch-all for loose change. I figure it’s ok just to make something up that satisfies me so I think it says, “it’s freaking cold in Indiana so you should stay here” — or something similar.

It reminds me of a time long ago when Jerilyn (my favorite cousin) and I decided to partake in this crazy business venture. We vowed that when we made a certain amount of money (don’t remember how much, only that it was a LOT) we were going to have “success” tattooed on our wrists in Japanese. Ben was much younger at the time, but wise when he said, “Are you serious? You think Japanese people tattoo English words on their wrists?”

PS. I don’t have any tattoos.
