I win the lottery
(I wouldn't kid you)
May 17, 2007
This evening when I checked my mailbox, there
was a check for $5,040.00 waiting for me. Now, I'd like to say
that's not unusual but actually, it is. So, of course, it troubled
me. There was no explanation. Just the check itself which did
have the notation "for soc sec ins" which, I guess
should be explanation enough.
It's clear that this is my first retirement check
and it covers the last year during which I've been dueling with
the federal government to get my old age pension. And, I have
to repay the City for the money they gave me during that period
which, according to my math, could be up to $5,908.
