Where's George? Not far.

For years I've entered dollar bills into the "Where's George" website. These have all been bills that have come across my register while working my retail jobs (the zoo and the bookstore), and while most of them have sat dormant for years with nary a hit, some have popped up and been recorded elsewhere. My bills have most commonly shown up in Wisconsin, but also in Chicago and Tennessee.

The other day a five-dollar "Where's George" bill ("Where's Abe?") came across my register at the bookstore. I recorded the number and then sent the bill away with a customer. At home, I entered the number into the website.

Just two days later, I got a hit on the bill...at my old workplace, the zoo! Either an employee or a customer received it there. I guess I gave it to the right person, one who made sure it traveled only a few minutes to the east. Now if it shows up at the bookstore...

Graduate for a year

I graduated from college a year ago today. Kind of scary. The only real celebration I did all day was play some Elgar and reminisce.
