I just logged into the RAGBRAI site and I have a wristband number. I told Karen that it appeared that we'd won a place in the ride. This wasn't the lottery she'd been hoping to win and was concerned that we'd used up all of our luck on the wrong drawing. I told her this is just the beginning of great things and then I reminded her what my dad used to tell my mom, "Stick with me baby and I'll give you jellybeans as big as diamonds."
