I usually feel lucky after the fact, not before.
The last time I felt lucky I had gone on a date with a woman who is intellectual, kind-hearted, and lovely in every way.
Midway through the date she gave me her hand, and I realized that I did not want to let go of it. Luckily for me, she did not seem especially in a rush to have it back either.
The date ended with a swing dance and a kiss.
That was two nights ago. And I am meeting her in a few minutes.
