I See Good Things!

     When I was in college I lived with my Grandmother in the upstairs of a duplex owned my my Uncle John at 277 Hastings Avenue in Buffalo. One Saturday morning I walked up Hastings to Bailey Avenue and turned left. I was going to the post office which was only about a block away on Bailey. Well, I was almost to the post office, passing a couple of businesses and some houses, when I noticed a house that had a sign in the window which read “Psychic”. And right when I saw the sign, a woman came out of the house, calling and walking toward me.
     “I read your fortune! Come in!” she said.
     We made eye contact. I would have to respond. “Oh, no thank you, not today.”
     She said, “Come in, come in! I see good things for you!
     Even if I had had more money with me than what I actually had at the time which was enough to buy two postage stamps, I would have still said no.
     The gypsy woman returned to her house, probably to look out her window for the next passerby.
     But you know, to this day, if anyone mentions fortune-telling, or psychics, the words, I see good things for you instantly come to mind.
     Perhaps someday when I am even older and even more eccentric, I'll put a “Psychic” sign in my window and run out to everyone who passes by and say “I see good things for you!” for free!
     I see good things for you!
