Dear Blog Readers,
We have become the kind of blogger we never wanted to be — the kind who has a "read our blog" button on our website but the newest post is months old. We blame Facebook for this — it's so much easier to write something there and we seem to have more followers there than we did here on the blog. Still, we can't quite bring ourselves to give it up altogether yet — so instead, we're posting this little note to explain our lack of current entries. Please do check out our facebook page, we think it's fun, if not quite as long form.
sincerely, the Joie de Blogger.

Crime Scene!

A woman walked in last night, in her late twenties, and asked if we would give her two tens for a twenty. It all happened quickly - we said yes, she walked out, and as we put the bill in the drawer, it seemed slightly off. Further assessment this morning made us wonder more, so we took it down to the bank. Counterfeit! And the interesting thing is they wouldn't take it - they told us to deposit it and mark it counterfeit, then they would send it to the Feds, (& debit our account $20) So . . . after dismissing thoughts of how easy it would be for us to pass it off on someone else . . . we will mark it fake and deposit it as instructed. C'est la vie.

    Faux Moolah. I will buy the fake 20 for $2.00 if you didn't deposit it yet.
    And treat it like Art. I promise I will not pass it on. Xo Sfny.

    Well, I know I've already given $ to Haiti and I bet both of you have too . . so I think I'll have to go with the first one who asked . . but, I promise if we fall for another fake $20, Carmen - it's yours.
